this is in response to zodd's answer-sorry, can't get it to post as a comment to that particular answer...I think the ending contains a very Christian/moral ending, for the time. Rochester loses an arm and a great deal of his sight for his sin of trying to wed Jane while he still has a wife. I didn't get this the first or second reading, it took many readings and didn't hit me full, just sort of crept up on me.

He was her everything. She thought about him and then heard him call her in the night and then she knew that she had to be with him.
Edit: He heard her, too. What up with all these ghosts, amirite?

Jessica's and Panchalee's explainations make sense to me. From a Christian and/or moral point of view you probably wouldn't think of it as a perfect ending, I guess. Jane realizing she can't be as cold/philanthropic/moral as St. John and has to return to the passionate/selfish/immoral Mr. Rochester. But when she returns to Mr. Rochester her faith in the relationship is restored because she knows better of her own disabilities and is assured she is in the right place with Mr. Rochester which she couldn't do if she hadn't found out by experience from St. John and his marriage proposal. So it's good nonetheless, just not as good as Mrs. Temple, Emma Burns and St. John maybe might've hoped for Jane.
Panchalee
It was definitely for the most part because she had fostered a profound love for the man. However I feel that in part it was also because conscientiously she felt that it was the right thing to do. She was a woman who gave a large part of her life to helping people and she was a strict believer in God's work of giving to humanity. Perhaps, since her life was for an important part, influenced and touched by Mr. Rochester and because he was a tangible presence that really meant something to her she felt it was her foremost duty to look to his safety and well being (Which made her abandon her journey to help the poor in India and arrive at Thornfield).
Anisha
Because she loved him like she loved no other and also mainly because she was worried as she didn't know anything about his whereabouts and well-being which kept her perturbed.
Miss Sweetness
Because she listened to her heart in the end. She stopped playing by the rules and did what she thought was right.
