Answer 2

• it drives Jane to seek moderation between these two extremes.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the emblematic motif of fire and ice prevailing throughout Charlotte Bronte's narrative, her contentions among enthusiasm and judiciousness are reflected in a few characters, particularly Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester and St. John Rivers.

In Chapter XXIII, Jane erroneously trusts that Mr. Rochester intends to wed Miss Fairfax, however as Mr. Rochester clarifies the bits of gossip about his marriage, he alludes to the time that it was

"...plainly intimated to you that it was my intention to put my old bachelor's neck into the sacred noose... "

he emphasizes his demeanor toward marriage as a jail or passing while St. John sees marriage a progressively holy obligation. His proposition of marriage is impartial, not normal for that of Mr. Rochester. In Chapter XXXIV, to Jane he clarifies sensibly why she ought to be "a missionary's wife": I have made you my study for ten months.." When Jane denies him, he demands the rightness of his choice.
