Jane Hears Rochester's Mysterious Call

As Jane is on the verge of agreeing to marry St. John, she hears a supernatural voice calling her name: 'Jane! Jane! Jane!' It is the voice of Mr. Rochester, filled with pain and urgency. She answers, 'I am coming!' The voice seems to come from nowhere and everywhere. This mystical experience convinces Jane that she must return to Rochester. She interprets it as a sign from God, overriding St. John's claims on her. This event is the turning point that leads to the novel's resolution.
