Thinking Jane will make a suitable missionary 's wife , St. John asks her to marry him and to go with him to India , not out of love , but out of duty .

In his rescue attempts , Mr. Rochester lost a hand and his eyesight . Jane reunites with him , but he fears that she will be repulsed by his condition . `` Am I hideous , Jane ?

When Jane assures him of her love and tells him that she will never leave him , Mr. Rochester again proposes , and they are married . He eventually recovers enough sight to see their firstborn son .
