Samson is the biblical figure who loved a women so much that he told her the very secret instructed by God to never tell anyone. Born with super strength, Samson was chosen to defeat the Philistines. Trying to figure out the secret to his strength they bribe his love, Delilah, into figuring it out. He denies telling her but his love was too great and eventually he opens and and shares that as long as he never cuts his hair he will have immeasurable strength. He loved Delilah so much he believed he could trust her but she betrayed him. Jane holds this kind of influence over Mr. Rochester. He is infatuated with love for her and is willing to give her everything, like Samson. When she make notice of this tale to Mr. Rochester she is aware of this power she holds. However, Jane is nothing like Delilah, she neither betrays Mr. Rochester nor is trivial enough to be swayed by money.
