It was especially weird to me because they kept all the stuff that leads up to it, especially the conversations with Helen that help her to form her moral sense -- but then the moment itself, her big moral stand for self-respect, skips all the key dialogue and falls weirdly flat! I do not understand. :(

The thing about Rochester is that yes he is a garbage fire but also he is Jane's particular garbage fire -- like, I get it, it's very hard to hit that particular balance note of 'she is on a completely different ethical plane than him BUT their weird feral goblin personalities match each other exactly!' I don't know that any adaptation has done it perfectly but some definitely come closer than others.
