Abstract

In the final pages of jane eyre, one encounters a mystery more impenetrable than the madness of jane Poole. As many have noted, Charlotte Bronte has given us a novel of character, rejecting plot as the driving force in her story. One reads jane eyre to watch the slow unfolding of the person she becomes in relation to different people at different times and under different circumstances. As Jacques Barzun points out, many readers have a better understanding of jane, because of the roundness in which they come to view her character, than of their own friends . For this reason, the ending of jane eyre is particularly shocking: why would Charlotte Bronte leave us with something as irrelevant as a letter quoting the last words of the Bible?

jane has described her own happily-ever-after and now makes the sudden unexpected leap to concluding the story of St. john's missionary endeavors. She describes his work in a great swell of biblically allusive rhetoric, and tells us that he is nearing the end of his life.
