St. John Rivers (cousin)
Diana Rivers (cousin)
Mary Rivers (cousin)
Hannah (servant)
Running away from the disaster at Thornfield Hall, Jane hastily departs on a journey by herself. No money, completely destitute, near death, Jane is about to give up when she sees a light off in the distance. Praying it is a light from a house she gathers her last breath and starts to make it towards the house. This may remind some people of the biblical story, The Three Kings. Following a light in the sky, a new star, they travelled to the location where they were told a new king had been born, someone who would save them all. Jane, likewise, follows the light in the distance hoping for something of the same nature, when eventually she reaches the house. When she asks for help, she is denied first t by the servant, Hannah, and next the two ladies of Moor House, because they think she is a common beggar. It is not until their brother enters does Jane receive any help and nonetheless he is a pastor. It is St. John Rivers who is behind the guiding light and gives her shelter, Jane's own personal baby Jesus. The irony in alluding to a biblical event and having Jane's savior from starvation be a missionary makes this book become deeper with more complex aspects than a shallow love story
