Pg 354: St. John is always sorrowful and tired and not much for enjoying life. He takes his missionary position almost like a burden. This would show a lack of true faith in god because his work towards a higher power isn't granting him happiness. Maybe he's working for god for selfish gains, wants a higher place in heaven or a guaranteed acceptance into heaven.
Pg 363: Reference to Jane as Lot's wife from Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot's wife fell from god's grace by giving in to temptation. By Jane going with Rochester she would fall out of god's grace because he is so sinful like the cities. Lot's wife couldn't resist, foreshadowing for Jane's future?
Pg 365: St. John likes a beautiful girl who likes him back, similar position that Jane and Rochester were in. Jane advises him against the course of action she took with Rochester. Hypocricy, Self-gratification, puts Jane on a higher moral plane.
