and, as a consequence, the omission of Jane's independent fortune which is a VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE FINALE
- the omission of my absolute favorite line: "The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself." WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS. IT'S THE LYNCHPIN OF THE STORY.


Okay, I haven't even watched this adaptation and now I'm angry!!!

the omission of Rochester's weird cross-dressing fortune-telling interlude, nobody ever does this and yet I'm still mad about it

OMG SAME.

the dynamic that makes Rochester worthwhile, which is that he makes Jane feel like her absolute favorite version of herself

YES. They delight each other and so many adaptations seem not to understand that!
