St. John is incapable of enjoying human feeling whereas Jane feels things very strongly. Jane is overjoyed more at finding a family than at receiving an inheritance, which puzzles St. John. His love for his sisters springs not from family and instinct but from respect and admiration. He calculates too much and cannot seem to allow himself to embrace human passions.
contrast st. john and rochester’s way to live
Both men are searching for a meaningful life. Mr. Rochester spent his youthful search enjoying the joys of the flesh and the entertainments of the wealthy; his search led him to excess. St. John searches in the opposite direction; he renounces human passion and pleasant social intercourse for the Spartan life of a missionary in a foreign country. He looks for meaning in a life of duty and self-denial.
how does the end of the novel represent typical Victorian experiences
Those characters who did wrong must pay. Mrs. Reed suffered and died. Bertha dies violently. Rochester is maimed for his moral wrongs. Only due to his remorse and redemption is Mr. Rochester allowed happiness with Jane. Those characters who acted with goodness–Mrs. Fairfax, Diana, Mary and of course Jane–receive happiness and contentment for adhering to Christian virtues. St. John lived the life he wished for, one of hardship and self-sacrifice, and he finds his peace in his eternal reward.
