I am so happy that Jane has found the Rivers family, she has been through so much and it is nice to know that she is finally going to be cared for by people who like her and want her to stay with them. The fact that the family’s name is Rivers, however, bothers me a little. Every time Jane has encountered someone who has a reference to water in previous cases, they have been cold, mean, and hurt her. I really don’t want this to be another example of that. At the same time, a river carries things away which might mean that all of Jane’s past and painful memories will be carried away and that she can start all over again from scratch. It seems this way so far; St John has given her a job as a school teacher and although it is tedious work, she has found that she can make a difference in the children’s lives and enjoys it. I find St john to be a bit of an awkward guy, he likes a girl but ignores her and is rude to her. However, he doesn’t seem bad so I hope he remains a positive character in her life.
