What do you think of St. John?

The character of St. John impresses me deeply. He is the most described male character second to Rochester.

  The image of this determined Christian monk is also very deep in my heart.

  The portrayal of St. John's image in the original text of the novel can not be separated from the background of Western Christian culture. Among them, there are many cultural and psychological motivations, such as the writer's own religious concept, moral consciousness and family influence, which reflect the profound cultural implication. The writer was born in a religious family. Her father was a poor pastor in Yorkshire, northern England, and was keen on religious cause. Charlotte, who had been deeply influenced by religion since childhood, could not treat St. John as a villain. Although Jane in the novel finally rejected St. John's proposal and ran to worldly love, she obviously held deep respect for St. John's character and his religious dedication.

  St. John is an important character in the novel. His character is very distinct. He is persistent, firm, kind, hardworking, has a clear goal in life, and is full of compassion and sacrifice; At the same time, he is more serious, slightly rigid, and lacks the openness and liveliness that a man of his age should have. He even gave up the pursuit of love for his faith.

  I feel enormously sorry for St. John because he is such an excellent young man that he deserves a far better life than what he really has. Yet I know all of us cannot persuade him to give up his great ambition. I love this character.
