Mrs. Fairfax is the housekeeper at Thornfield Hall. Mr. Rochester trusts her completely and leaves the running of the household in her hands. Fairfax is kind to Jane, though Jane finds her rather boring. She is let go from her position after Jane runs away from Thornfield, which directly parallels her discovery of Rochester's wife Bertha.
