As I get older I find Rochester more disturbing, the fact he doesn't think, the fact that he doesn't think of the consequences and what it might mean for Jane - especially when he says he will try violence. It makes me wonder if he is a potential rapist.

I remember discussing this on a forum actually and saying how it vaguely reminded me of a sadomasochistic relationship. The way Jane is constantly calling him 'Master' and her deliberate humility in order to assert her individuality and in the end call the shots, I find it interesting how in that sequence she is humble and humbles him - I don't know whether it subverts Victorian ideology or not.
