When Jane Eyre gets to Thornfield, she gets treated the best she ever had been treated. She converses with Mr. Fairfax, and she is respectful, and he is respecful to her as she is not her true boss. She is still having coversations with men, which is definitely different in comparison to how a man would write her still. She is treated with respect from all those she has come into contact with which is still very different. She is also allowed to ask questions at this point without reprecussions. Even when Jane Eyre unknowingly meets Mr. Rochester, he is somewhat kind to her, and she is able to talk to him freely at this point. However, when get goes into Thornfield, he asks her a multitude of questions to throw her off, however she answers honestly and kindly regardless. She understood the authority of Mr. Rochester, but she was never overshadowed by the presence of him as well. Also within these chapters, Jane does not focus on apperance for herself or Mr. Rochester, which is a key difference in how male authors would have written this story as well. When the fire happens, Jane is the one to save the people in Thornfield, not Mr. Rochester, which furthers her evolution as a character.
