I also like Jane's character and her independence and nonconformity and how her independence or better the way she stands up to Rochester for example is a hint to gender relations in general. I think it' s good that she left Rochester although she already forgave him for everything because she needs to do her own thing. I was impressed that she did it actually although I felt it was necessary and pretty obvious for the plot. It is also that she does not need a man to take care of her, she can do it on her own as well. It was pretty mean from Rochester to imply that she could not make it on her own and if she does not say yes to him that nobody cares for her when he says: "Who in the world cares for you? or who will be injured by what you do?" When Jane answers that she can care for herself and "The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained, I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God, sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad - as I am now" she shows her independence. It kind of reminded me of the scene when she told Mrs. Reed her opinion of her, I like it when she stands up to people and do not just do what she is supposed to do or what would be easiest  but not the right way for her.
