  St John proposed to Jane by presenting a practical and business-like proposal, in which he asked her to accompany him as his missionary partner to India, emphasizing duty and sacrifice. Jane, however, was unable to accept his proposal, as she did not love him and could not envision a life devoid of love and passion. While contemplating his proposal, Jane heard Mr. Rochester's voice calling her name, which stirred up memories from the past and affirmed her true feelings for him.

  St. John's proposal to Jane Eyre was very formal and direct. He expressed his deep and serious love for Jane and expressed his hope to marry her. St. John's proposal was not driven by emotional impulses, but based on his belief that combining with Jane would lead to a shared commitment to the religious cause. This proposal was full of reason and purpose. Jane Eyre's response to St. John's proposal was complex. She was surprised and confused because she had never considered St. John as a lover. Although she respects St. John's character and career pursuits, she does not love him and cannot respond to him in love. Jane realized clearly that St. John's feelings for her were not true love, but based on their common career pursuits. Therefore, she refused St. John's proposal. During the process of rejecting St. John, Jane seemed to hear a voice from the past. This voice could be her inner self, or it could be the voice of her deceased uncle or Mr. Rochester. This voice reminds her to adhere to her principles, pursue true love and happiness, rather than sacrificing her emotions to meet the expectations or pursuits of others. This voice gave Jane courage and strength, enabling her to firmly reject St. John's proposal and pursue her own happiness. In summary, St. John's proposal to Jane was based on rational and career pursuits, while Jane refused him due to a lack of love. In the process of rejection, Jane seemed to hear a voice from the past, reminding her to adhere to her principles and pursue true happiness.

  On his first proposal, while taking a walk in the swamp, he proposed to Jane at God's request. Jane expressed that her heart was silent, and she politely refused him. On their second proposal, they sat alone on the sofa in the living room. He sincerely proposed in the name of God, and she agreed first. However, Rochester's shout echoed in her mind, and she refused him again. Jane heard a distant voice calling out, "Jane! Jane! Jane!"
