This passage appeared after the wedding ceremony of Jane Eyre and Mr. Robster in the church was blocked by the lawyer entrusted by Jane Eyre's uncle and Mr. Rochester's crazy wife's brother Mason. Jane Eyre's psychological monologue when she asks to be his wife.
The more lonely I am, the less friends I have, and the less support I have, the more I have to respect myself. I will obey the laws given by God and approved by the world. I will stick to the principles I embraced when I was sane and not when I was crazy like this. Laws and principles are not meant to be used without temptation; since they are strict, they cannot be violated. What value do they have if I can break them at my own convenience? They have value—I have always believed that; and if I cannot believe it now it is because I am crazy—completely crazy; There was fire in my veins and my heartbeats were beating faster than I could count. My preconceived opinions, my past resolutions, are all I have to hold on to now; I am here to stand firm.
