contrast st. john and rochester’s way to live

Answer 35

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.

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.
