- Jane Eyre chapter 35
- “I felt how, if I were his wife, this good man, pure as the deep sunless sirocco, could soon kill me,”
- St John would have killed Jane physically and her soul
- Religious man killing someone emphasises irony
- oxymoron
- Her soul would die as well as herself
- “I was almost as hard beset by him now as I had been once before, in a different way, by another. I was a fool both times” Page 482
- Both Rochester and St John are pushy to woman - comprised
- “I might have said, ‘Where is it?’ for it did not seem in the room, nor in the house, nor in the garden; it did not come out of the air, nor from under the earth, nor from overhead.” page 483
- Supernatural
- “It was my time to assume ascendancy. My powers were in play and in force.” page 484
- Making it about herself not Rochester or St John
- Last sentence on page 484 transcends conflict by realising in order to live she must follow her own choices
- Bronte making the point that educated woman like Jane are much more ideal
- Found her own God and sublime feelings
- “I felt how, if I were his wife, this good man, pure as the deep sunless sirocco, could soon kill me,”
