Jane Eyre "AI" Pages 399-413

Pg 399: St. John is beginning to take interest in Jane, even though he has a higher purpose to fulfill he falls into temptation. Even the pious are subject to worldly desires. So if someone with strong desire and a stronger will than Jane can fall to temptation that doesn't show much hope for Jane. She doesn't have a higher calling like St. John yet feels for someone just as strongly as it appears St. John does. If he has no hope then Jane has no hope. She will fall into sin and be ignorant to it and be happy. She will marry Rochester and succumb to her weakness.
