A Vicar is a priest who substitutes for his bishop. The term is used in the Church of England (and some others) for the senior priest given "care of souls" in a particular parish his assistants are sometimes called curates or just assistant priests. In the Roman Catholic Church a Vicar is the agent of a prelate for example the Vicar General is the Bishop's chief assistant in a diocese.

The Pope uses the title Vicar of Christ (among others) as a symbol of the belief that he is a human substitute for Christ in the administration of His Church on Earth. As the subsequent answer shows this title has been hotly disputed by some and modern Popes tend to prefer the title "Servant of the Servants of God".
Another Answer:
A Vicar is a substitute, Jesus was our substitute. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh and he came to this earth and died on the cross of Calvary to pay for our sins. When Christ died he became our sin according to II Corinthians 5:21 then I PETER 2:20-25 says the he took our sin in his own body on the tree. So the scripture teaches that Christs death on Calvary was a substitution for me. He did not deserve to die but he took my sin upon his self and seeing that the wages of sin is death Christ died for my sin! After being dead for three days he raised from the dead and The Bible says that he was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification. This is because he ever liveth to make intercession for us (see 1 Timothy 2:5 with term 'mediator' same as intercessor).

In "Jane Eyre," the character of the vicar is portrayed as a kind and compassionate individual who offers support and guidance to Jane. However, the vicar does not play a significant role in the overall narrative of the story, and his character does not have a significant impact on Jane's life or development.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth.
In the Lutheran Church, a vicar is a seminary student who is completing a year of practical fieldwork in a congregation, typically as part of their pastoral training. This role allows the vicar to gain hands-on experience in ministry under the supervision of an experienced pastor. The vicar may perform various duties, including preaching, teaching, and participating in church activities, but is not yet ordained. This internship period helps prepare them for their future role as a fully ordained pastor.
