Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

There would be recesses in my mind which would be only mine, to which he never came, and sentiments
growing there fresh and sheltered which his austerity could never blight, nor his measured warrior-march
trample down: but as his wife--at his side always, and always restrained, and always checked-forced to
keep the fire of my nature continually low, to compel it to burn inwardly and never utter a cry, though the
imprisoned flame consumed vital after vital—this would be unendurable. (chapter 34)

Answer 2

• allow her to freely express her passions
• allow her the privacy to independently develop her mind
• initially difficult but with time they would grow closer

Step-by-step explanation:

This is based on the book, "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë.

Jane would be allowed to privacy to independently develop her mind because there would be parts of her mind that St. John would not be able to penetrate or trample down. She would also be free to express her principles and passions in India should she travel with him there.

She believes however, that their relationship would be difficult at first as she would be forced to follow his passions and not hers but as time would go on, they would eventually grow closer whilst working in India.
