To determine which two characters are similar in the excerpts, I would need to know more about the characters and the context of the excerpts. However, based on your options, it seems that:
- Mrs. Fairfax is a character associated with "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë, who serves as the housekeeper at Thornfield Hall.
- Mr. Rathburn is not a well-known character in classic literature.
- Maddy and Jane are less defined without additional context.
- Lucia is also not a widely recognized character in the context of significant literary works.
- Miss Eyre refers to Jane Eyre herself.
Without the specific excerpts to analyze the characters' qualities or actions, I cannot definitively determine which two characters are similar. If you can provide more details about the characters or the excerpts, I would be happy to help!
