Jane becomes comfortable with the notion of death after being with Helen, and speaking about Death and Heaven. This comfort is a vast change from how she coped with the concept of death when she was living with the Reeds; we could argue that Jane's sudden comfort with death has spurred from Helen's description of Heaven: calling it 'home' and a 'future state'. Being shut out from the Reed's conversations, Jane would never have been taught about what comes after death. So, naturally she built up a fear towards death (certainly a fear of the unknown, not being educated about death) Helen's speech allowed Jane to become more familiar with death, particularly since Jane never regarded the Reed's household as a 'home'; Helen describing heaven as a future home with a 'universal parent' is more appealing to Jane than any experience in her life so far, being parentless and homeless.

Helen's acceptance with Death is similar to the way she treats life. Being a stoic she accepts all punishment given to her and believes "evil should be returned with goodness" she also accepts her death, believing it to be part of God's plan for her 'returning home'.

Helen refers to God as many roles: 'Maker, father, friend, universal parent' this is significant as it shows how she is using God to fulfil the roles she lacks, a comfort. Similarly with Jane, she finds comfort in this description of God; Helen is describing God as a being that takes up roles like 'universal parent' that Jane has never had in life.

Helen's interpretation of God is often based on duality. She speaks of the hour which will 'restore me to him, reveal him to me' and states 'i love him, i believe he loves me'.  This balance contrasts the way Helen lives her life; Helen gets treated cruelly by the teachers at Lowood, especially Miss Scatcherd. Returning 'goodness for cruelty', however she believes God will treat her equally, loving her as she loves him and so on.  Jane would idolize this idea because of her time spent at the Reeds house: there she was treated apart by Miss Reed from her other children. Jane was isolated and marginalised by Miss Reed, she treating her own children with love while Jane was treated coldly. The idea that God will love her equally as all others oposes how Jane has been treated before.
