As to St. John Rivers, he left England: he went to India. He entered on

This closing account of St. John forms a quiet yet powerful epilogue to his character. Unlike Rochester, who pursues earthly love and human warmth, St. John rigidly follows his self-chosen missionary duty. His endless spiritual pursuit contrasts sharply with Jane’s choice of equal, heartfelt love. His unyielding devotion to faith and duty makes him a tragic, noble figure: disciplined, self-sacrificing, yet devoid of passion and tenderness.
