"I heaved them up, deluged the bed and its occupant, flew back to my own room, brought my own water-jug, baptized the bed afresh" (151)
Jane literally saves Mr.Rochester from the fire that his wife has set on him. The connotation of this event is that Jane is saving his heart from sin by baptising him with the water-jug. Due to his past occurrences with his wife Mr. Rochester begins to burn in the fire which represents Hell. Jane saves his heart from Hell and he follows her after this as if she were God. Jane leads him down a better path than the one he traveled before.
