John is because if she married St. John, she would essentially be a servant to him in India. She thinks this is an awful idea when she says, “He has told me I am formed for labor - not for love… Would it not be strange, Die, to be claimed for life to a man who regarded one but as a useful tool?” (479). This goes to shows how Jane (and pretty much everyone else) feels about the idea of marriage, she believe it is between to people who love each other. The way in which St. John presents his reasons for marriage is essentially, “Jane, I need someone to help me in India as I spread the gospel. You seem like the right fit for the job, so marry me and we can or things out later” which is directly contradicting what Jane believes the purpose for marriage
