Jane Eyre's God-fearing Virtue

Jane Eyre's healthy fear of God was so strong that it was more real to her than her one and only human tie on earth - Mr. Rochester.  Therefore, when it became known on her wedding day that Mr. Rochester (her betrothed) was legally married to an insane woman, she could fight and win the following battle:

Mr. Rochester: "Is it better to drive a fellow-creature to despair than to transgress a mere human law - no man being injured by the breach?  for you have neither relatives nor acquaintances whom you need fear to offend by living with me."

Jane Eyre's thoughts: "This was true: and while he spoke my very conscience and reason turned traitors against me, and charged me with crime in resisting him.  Who in the world cares for you?  or who will be injured by what you do?  Still indomitable was the reply - 'I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man.  I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad - as I am now'"  (Bronte, Jane Eyre).
