St John (Language (Bronte uses cold and hard language to describe St John,…
St John
-
Thinks he is a saint
-
-
He isn't happy living a calm, normal, domestic life
-
-
-
Sexist
-
-
Contrast to Rochester, who has never said anything of the sort, and regularly has fruitful conversations with Jane
-
Religion
St John is shown to represent the cold, calculating side to religion that Jane has not yet encountered
It is completely passionless and seems dull and unappealing - yet another version of religion that Jane doesn't like
Jane realises that he did not appear to enjoy his work and comments he had no more found (God)... than had I
Duty about love
He won't give up on his mission, despite loving Rosamund Oliver: While I love (her)... she would not make me a good wife; that she is not the partner suited to me
Otherwise, their match is perfect - they love each other and her father approves of him
Foil to Rochester
Rochester is passionate, St John is austere and ambitious
-
Final letter
Reminds the reader what would have happened to Jane if she had married him; premature death and unhappiness
