] So the upshot of the whole affair was he was in love with Jane more than ever. It sounds almost like a certain Fritzwilliam Darcy trying to shake off a certain Bennet girl, don't you think?

I think that Rochester was definitely being cruel to Jane from flaunting Blanche in her face, to expecting to have noone realize this would have been a bigamous marriage.
His tragic story is very heart-rending, but still doesn't justify his cruelty, IMHO at least.
