Free Response on Jane's Encounter with St. John

Chapter 28 is where Jane is exhausted and feels as if she is going to die of exhaustion on the cabin doorstep. She is then found inside where St. John let her inside to feel refreshed and well. From being judged in the past, she is mad at Hannah, one of the German maids, for judging her and leaving her outside to die. As any other human would do to a stranger they encounter, they question her, but she is not faithfully honest to all of their questions. She goes by the name Jane Elliot in the Moor House household. Jane is homeless now: lack of money, food, and supplies. Being the nice man that gave Jane the impression of St. John, he kindly lets her stay the night, and he promises her a job in the morning. Feeling sorry for how she lied to them, she then retells the story, and tells them her real name. I feel that Jane’s is on a roll on staying true to her feelings and instincts; she realizes that lying doesn’t get you anywhere, as Mr. Rochester has demonstrated. Jane Eyre is not just any normal character; she has feelings and a heart. It makes me happy to know that she isn’t hiding behind herself so that she can just get by, but to know that even if she is alone, she still has herself and always will.
