Read the excerpt from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Here, Jane and Mrs. Fairfax discuss Mr. Rochester. [Jane] "Well, but, leaving his land out of the question, do you like him? Is he liked for himself?” [Mrs. Fairfax] " I have no cause to do otherwise than like him; and I believe he is considered a just and liberal landlord by his tenants: but he has never lived much amongst them.” "But has he no peculiarities? What, in short, is his character?” "Oh! his character is unimpeachable, I suppose. He is rather peculiar, perhaps: he has travelled a great deal, and seen a great deal of the world, I should think. I dare say he is clever, but I never had much conversation with him.” "In what way is he peculiar?” "I don’t know—it is not easy to describe—nothing striking, but you feel it when he speaks to you; you cannot be always sure whether he is in jest or earnest, whether he is pleased or the contrary; you don’t thoroughly understand him, in short—at least, I don’t: but it is of no consequence, he is a very good master.” What does the dialogue reveal about Mrs. Fairfax’s perspective on Mr. Rochester?
