Jane Fairfax is placed in many of Emma's important parts playing a significant role as a character in contrast to Emma who is the alternate heroine of the text. Jane Fairfax teaches Emma many moral lessons: not to interfere with the lives of others and also not to invent other people's situations as Emma is a character who lives in her own imagination and writes stories in her mind. If Emma is a character who lives in a dream, Jane is a character who shows realism throughout the novel and reality to the audience.
