Who is St. John(Sinjin)
St. John is introduced in Ch. 28 when Jane knocks on his door helplessly, wanting food and shelter. Sinjin then says something to Jane about all men deserve to die, except for the ones that are needy for a helpless matter, such as Jane at at the moment. Sinjin then opens the door to give Jane shelter and food, he also has two sisters by the name of Diana and Mary that also help Jane along with Sinjin. They ask her all sorts of questions like asking for Jane's name, but Jane gives them false information and coming up with the name of Jane Elliot. During Ch. 29, Jane finally tells the truth to Hannah- the girl that judged Jane because of her helplessly acts- and apologizes to Jane about he mistake. Sinjin then promises Jane that he will find her a job. Overall, it seems that St. John(Sinjin) is a helpful and caring person towards Jane.

St. John Rivers(Sinjin) is the minister at Morton. St. John is cold, reserved, and often controlling in his interactions with others. He is fully isolated from his feelings and devoted solely to an ascetic ambition. St. John serves as a foil to Mr. Rochester.
