Jane Eyre can be Loyal and St John can be Rude!

One day, St John asks Jane to give up her study of German and instead to learn “Hindustani” with him; The language he is learning to prepare for missionary work in India. As time goes by, St. John exerts a greater and greater influence on Jane. His power over her is almost astonishing. This leaves Jane feeling empty, cold, and sad, but she follows his wishes. At last, he asks her to go to India with him to be a missionary—and to be his wife. She agrees to go to India as a missionary, but says that she will not be his wife because they are not in love. St. John brutally insists that she marry him, he also states that to refuse his proposal is the same as to negate the Christian faith.
