I'm sorry, but Ciaran Hinds just isn't right as Rochester. Frankly, this version of Rochester is something of a brute. Granted, Charlotte Bronte describes Rochester as temperamental and unpredictable but Hinds portrays him as someone who can be frighteningly volatile and even violent...not a man Jane could trust or respect. Hinds also played Rochester in a BBC radio dramatization, and while that portrayal was more faithful to the book, he still made Rochester far too hotheaded.
Alright. I gotta say, this is some serious emotional manipulation going on. I've seen this behavior in men in real life, and they are not the kind of men you ever want to get married to. I've read the book at least a dozen times and I know Rochester is supposed to be rough around the edges, but I never got the impression that he was full on abusive. But this version of Rochester makes me cringe.
I totally respect Jane for having morals and sticking to them no matter how difficult it was to do so. If more people were like this, the world would be a much better place.
I really like this adaptation, but they took some SERIOUS artistic liberties with Rochester...

I really like Samantha Morton, but I kind of wish there had been a Gainsborough/Hinds production.

Interesting twist, he guilt trips her cause she has morals. Don't know what to think of that.
