ST JOHN

(UNDERSTANDING HER)

Jane...

JANE

You're a good man, but you forget

the feelings of little people. We'd

better keep out of your way lest

you trample us.

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 112.

St John's anger has faded. He is compassionate. This is far

harder to resist.

ST JOHN

I wouldn't trample you. You'd

walk at my side towards God's

altar. He'd be your solace,

heaven your reward. We seek to do

the greatest work, to open

death's gates, to save souls.

Love God Jane, love God.

St John puts his hand on her forehead; Christlike. Jane is

falling under his power.
