Hmm the control aspect isn't really something I thought about, and the ending never really sat right to me. I always considered the ending kind of sad. Yes she stood up for her values and rejected St Johns proposal, but then I felt she threw all her values away by getting back with the dude that groomed her, and almost damned her for eternity by making her a mistress. I get that it's a deeply Christian work, and forgiveness and all that but yikes.
