Jane sees marriage as a partnership between equals - she scorns what she thinks is

She also refuses marry St John Rivers without love.

Marriage was for life & was not to be entered into lightly. Jane was very pure and would not consider having an affair with as married man, even though his wife was insane. Divorce was out of the question. Rochester felt obligation to take care of his insane wife.
Also, later in the book, Jane would not marry St. John because she did not love him. A marriage of convenience was not an option.

unfair for rochester to be "stuck" to a crazy wife....
respect and resignation regarding that situation...
being true to urself, and being rewarded (thru finding rochester again, even tho he was blind!!)
