Cynthia's comment:
ReplyDeleteThese chapters reveal many things... was more exciting.. Jane is rich..! And have family ... the most humble and I liked was that she was more happy found their cousins that have inherited and is she would be helping their cousins ... What I didn’t liked was that St. John seems to force them to think the same as for the religious theme ...luckily God gave a signal to Jane to hear the call of Mr. Rochester in the distance.. God to see that each has a purpose... not just as St John thinks
What i liked most was that jane wasn´t selfish when she get rich..Because this told us that she learnt so many things from life..
ReplyDeleteNow we meet a jane totally diferent from the biginning, now she has a family, she has money, she has somebody to love and the most important think is that she´s happy..
What i didn´t like was (i agree with cynthia here)when st John try to obligate jane to marry him.. because he didn´t love her, he was thinking in his position Not on her happiness..!! What a vicar.! luckily Jane wasn´t so foolish to accept it.. :D
Now the story is very different, Jane is teaching in a school, she is with her new family, and she has money, too.
ReplyDeleteShe lived very good but she didnt have her real love. St John wanted to marry Jane, but he didnt love her, she also didnt love him. At the moment that jane agree to marry St John, she heard somebody that called her, and she decided not to marry.
I agree with Laura, luckly Jane wasn't so foolish to accept to marry with St John, she would live very unhappy because she loved another person, Mr Rochester.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Cynthia, I didnt liked that St John used religious to force Jane to marry him.
I hate the person who blame God for what happens to him or her. St Jhon is like that, he always says that God has called him to do charities work, but the really situation is not that, he only wants to believe things that are not.....
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I am so happy that Jane ¡finally! found something good in her all life: Now she is rich, she has some relatives at least and maybe she would find again her eternal love.....
I really didn't like St Jhon's behaviour, he wants to dominate Jane's activities...he's so ambitious.....
Jane, on the other hand as always very good, generous and disinterested....:
I agree with all of you, especially with Laura, Jane was intelligent enough to imagine St Jhon's intentions...
ReplyDeleteJane is a person who observes the details, so she realized St Jhon's real character...
Another thing that I agree with Laura is that Jane although she became rich, she wasn't selfish, on the contrary she became more generous with her cousins...:)
This is what almost all love stories have in common, everything changes for good. But in this case Jane really deserved this and much more. Since the beggining she tried hard to step up all the walls in front of her sad and poor life. First, she was found by St. John almost dead in the moors, then she found a job in a poor but very hard working school, showing her humility and pasion for children, after that she inherited all her uncle's possessions and finally she found out that St. John and his two sisters were her cousins.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fact that St. John asked her for marriage darkened a little bit all this happy part of the story, but with all these events Jane always showed her moral, behave, humility and solidarity.
I don't want to give an opinion about the fact that St. John asked her to marry him because feelings are feelings. We don't know exactly St. john's real feelings about Jane, even his intentions, but what we surely know is that Jane will love forever Mr. Rochester. :)
We had many surprises in these chapters, Jane had inherited a fortune from her uncle of Madeira, and more important for her, she discovered she had three relatives, the people who saved her life when she needed the most. All her life she has been alone, but now she was rich and had a family to share her fortune, the only thing missing in Jane’s life was love, St. John proposed to her but she didn’t love him and he was only thinking in his convenience, luckily once again, Jane followed her heart and said no, good for her, she deserves to be happy after all she went through life
ReplyDeleteI agree with my classmates, this part of the story was almost perfect the only thing that I didn’t like was the attitude of St. John, he tried to used Jane on his own purpose, without considering her happiness, making the excuse that it was God’s desire to see both of them married and working as missionaries
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy with the fact that Jane will have a better life now on, because she has a new family that will help her, a shelter where she can cry, and above everything truly friends that will help her to forget all her pain of the past.
I'm agree with Manu when he says that the asked of marriage darkened her happiness, she wanted a family not a new big compromise, and when St. John told that God asked her to give her life in his service being his wife he is saying: Jane, I don't want to be along in this sacrifice, please you look as a person who likes to suffer, jump with me, I can not do it along, and i need your life to be sadly than it is know, sorry i'm selfish. Stupid St. John, just as Mr. Rochester, poor Jane; she just crashed with eccentric men, and she is too good to see that.
