Chapter 34; Jane's relatioship with St. John

In Chapter 34, we as the readers begin to see that Jane's relationship with St. John has become more of a burden than a delight. This is made clear to the reader when Bronte writes, " By degrees, he acquired a certain influence over me that took way my liberty mind: his praise and notice were more restraining than his indifference. I could no longer talk or laugh freely when he was by...When he said "go," I went! "come," I came; "do this," I did it. But I did not love servitude; I wished, many a time, he had continued to neglect me (404-5) In this quote, the reader can sense that Jane does not serve St. John out of affection but rather out silent protest. Their relationship is mainly based on his dominance over her. Even in their intimate moment, of kissing did Jane feel, "... As if the kiss were a seal affixed to my fetters", describing this event with master-slave imagery. Do you believe this kind of relationship will last? Is Jane going to marry him and again sacrifice herself for the benefit of others? Will Jane finally lose her independence that she has shown so clearly all through the book?
