doors and begging. Jane was near death when one house finally took her in. It was the house of St. John and his two sisters, Diana and Mary. Jane became very close to all of them. After living with them for quite some time, Jane found out that her uncle that she never knew left her a big inheritance. Along with this she found out that St. John, Mary, and Diana were her cousins and she unselfishly split the inheritance with them. St. John ended up proposing to Jane and asking her to accompany him on a missionary trip to India. Jane agreed to go to India because she wanted to serve God’s will, but she wanted to go as John’s sister not as his wife. It hurt her to turn down his proposal, but she knew John did not love her nor did she love him in that way, so she refused to enter a loveless marriage. John tried to guilt her into it and almost succeeded, but Jane found strength and denied him. She decided before she could ever leave England she must find out how Mr. Rochester has been.Jane returns to Thornfield after years of being away. She now has complete financial independence which I believe makes her more secure in returning to Thornfield because she is in need of nothing but peace of mind in knowing that Mr. Rochester is alright. When she gets to Thornfield she finds it burnt to the ground. Mr. Rochester has gone blind and is very deformed after he went into the fire to try and save his wife from the burning house. His attempt had failed and his wife died. So in the end, Jane can now be with the person that she loves - Mr. Rochester. The irony of their marriage is that Jane will be the one taking care of Mr. Rochester instead of the other way around. Throughout the novel, Jane stands up for what she believes in even though in some cases it hurts her very badly. By her not being scared to do what it takes to follow her beliefs she went from a girl who had nothing to a woman who had it all....
