    Jane tells St. John that she must leave him because she cannot stay and become nothing to him. She has feelings and a soul, despite being poor, obscure, and plain. If she had wealth and beauty, she would make it as hard for St. John to leave her as it is now for her to leave him. Jane says her spirit is addressing St. John's spirit, as if they stood as equals before God. She reminds St. John that he is essentially married to another woman whom he does not truly love, and she would scorn such a union.

    JANE: I tell you I must go! Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do youthink I am an automaton?

    --a machine without feelings? and can bearto have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop ofliving water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor,obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You thinkwrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And ifGod had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should havemade it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leaveyou. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave,and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are! You are a married man, as good as one, and wed to one whom you do not truly love! I would scorn such a union, I am better than you---let me go!
