Character Analysis about St. John

As we have read about St. John in Jane Eyre, he is a very distant man that puts up a front. As I read about him in the late chapters of Jane Eyre, I realize that he is very interested in his work, but doesn't seem like the kind of man to be married with the kind of ambition he has. Though at times, he can be somewhat kind, as to letting Jane Eyre stay for a while, he still is cold and doesn't reveal how he feels openly. St. John can create a lot of opportunity compared to Jane because he is off to travel to India, where change can begin. St. John compared to Mr. Rochester are both opposite, though they both propose to Jane, because Mr. Rochester is a romantic while St. John is not really into that type of attention.
