The period of their engagement is therefore represented by Brontë as marked by the dangers of sexual temptation, as implied in Jane's idolatry of Rochester and willingness to give in to him. However, Jane's religious free will and morality allow her to endure, thus ensuring her continued connection with God. However, Jane retains her spiritual love which includes Christianity and allows her to fulfill her mortal desires. Jane is put on trial again when she learns of Bertha's existence and is begged by Rochester to be his lover, which she denies saying she will “keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man” (313). In the midst of this catastrophe he says, "Only one idea still pulsed like life within me: a memory of God" (293) and with firm resolution he leaves Thornfield and Rochester, exulting "he who loved me so, I absolutely adored: and I must give up love and idol” (312). Jane's actions clearly demonstrate that she submits her will to God even when her whole being is at odds with her decision; duty religious but also of a morality that grounds her existence. So far, Jane is put to the test again when Saint John asks her to marry him and to yield to his will, the will of God, while she strives to remain spiritually and mortally autonomous. St. John Rivers is another Christian role model; he is important and, although ambitious, believes he is doing God's work. His desire for Jane to marry and accompany him to India as a missionary is what he believes is God's will for both, and urges her to sacrificing her emotions for her moral duty to God, an act that would make her unfaithful to herself. . Jane cannot imagine herself as his wife and identifies their potential marriage with that paper world as Helen and St. John's Christianity demands. Jane's faith is enduring but does not consume her individual personality as she exercises her right to be human. Mrs. Moore's spiritual development leads to impurity and she subsequently becomes ambivalent towards spirituality and God. However, she reaches a kind of rest at the end of A Passage to India, when the images and landscapes she passes on her journey to the England seem to question the legitimacy of the Marabar Caves and its echo as a true representation of life. Perhaps this thought allows her to see that there is still potential in spirituality and therefore in life as a whole. The spiritual development of Mrs. Moore and Jane mirrors the struggle to achieve balance in our lives as the key to tranquility of mind, body and spirit, and both characters can be ascertained to achieve some level of this.
