[quote=Anonymous]1. I thought St. John stood for the cultural ideal of goodness, everything your average poor Victorian governess should find romantic and fascinating and appealing. Like how Frank Churchill is your average regency novel hero. The author is playing with cultural tropes and the issues with the social ideals of masculinity. 2. Rochester’s sins were bigamy and/or not being honest with someone you want to marry. I don’t think there marrying for money or the age gap are considered sins per se. 3. I think Brontë is way more into the vibes and the characters growth and inner lives than the actual romance of it all tbh. The happy ending is only tangentially relevant. But I’m sure that’s good fan fiction out there (and if not you should write it!).[/quote]
