" "I should kill you-I am killing you? Your words are such ought not to be used: violent, unfeminine and untrue.' " (420)
When Jane accuses St. John of killing her she means that he is controlling and confining her to the point that her pride is being diminished. Jane's character is distinct from the other women in "Jane Eyre" because she does not hide what she thinks and sticks up for herself when she believes she is being treated unjustly. Another example of this behavior is when she accuses her Aunt of being awful to her.
