Bertrande constantly questioned and confided in those closest to her only to be told she was mad. “All my household believe me to be mad”. The priest, who was an important figure at the time, dismissed Bertrande’s speculations and did not express any doubt about the strangers identity. Rather, he reassures Bertrande that men change over time and that Bertrande should “pray for understanding” . When Bertrande went on to sue Arnaud, he discouraged Bertrande to bringing the lawsuit against the rogue imposter as he was convinced that the man Bertrande was accusing was the real Martin.

In Chapter 27, Jane describes an inner conflict. She loves Rochester, but because he is still married, she refuses to be his mistress and therefore still leaves him. This is an important example of her sacrificial love, for she leaves it unrequited, and ‘abhor(s)’ herself for it, indicating it against the will of her spirit. On the opposite end she refuses to ‘sacrifice’ her love completely as she rejects the marriage proposal from St John, whose perspective is very much the same as Brocklehurst. St John states: ‘you are formed for labour and not for love’.

In his mind, he saw it, as she would not just put out for any guy easily. He is traumatized with the idea that Jane might have changed and he does not want to talk to her ‘“Jane Gallagher. Jesus.” I couldn’t get her off my mind. I really couldn’t. “I oughta go down and say hello to her, at least.” “Why the hell don’tcha, instead of keep saying it?” Stradlater said.
Consequentialism assumes that if human being would weigh the outcome of their taboos and beliefs, then happiness can be achieved and pain reduced. But utilitarianism assumes that people can only value a virtue if it is deemed beneficial in accomplishing human happiness. For example utilitarians believe that truth will make a better society while consequentialists believe that truth will make a better society only if the outcome causes no harm. Basically utilitarianism assumes that the wrongness or rightness of an act depends on the moral good produced as a result of doing that act. This implies that an act is right if it minimizes violation of a certain moral right thus no one should violate moral rights for happiness sake and be justified.
