Villette by Charlotte Bronte Discussion

A very bizarre book for a very bizarre time. I honestly don't even feel like I covered half of the strangeness in here.

I post a new video once a week about the books I'm reading, so subscribe if you're interested!

Great video! I must be a sick puppy because I loved M. Paul 🙈 Not at the beginning, of course, but when he starts to show himself more compassive (when Lucy starts to describe him so, I should say)... I felt in love with him. I mean, he's generous and he loves Lucy for what she is and he helps her get started as a teacher and he brings her books! I was heartbroken by the ending but I fully understand Lucy would not have the same independence as a wife. He will always be the man that loved her and gave her her independence this way 🥺

Great description of the contents and contexts connected to this book! Your discussion was very detailed and knowledgeable - you've done the book justice and convinced me why I should put this title on my list of books to read.

I found Monsieur Paul kinda funny, I did like him, also I couldn't help myself from relating to Lucy in a lot of things, so even though that he is not mr right, (Monsieur Paul) he was also not that bad, I see why she fell for him.

Good review, maybe a word or two on the style - which I thought was most excellent - would have been a good addition. There's so many awesome passages.

"Religious reader, you will preach to me a long sermon about
what I have just written, and so will you, moralist; and you, stern
sage: you, stoic, will frown; you, cynic, sneer; you, epicure, laugh.
Well, each and all, take it your own way. I accept the sermon,
frown, sneer and laugh; perhaps you are all right: and perhaps,
circumstanced like me, you would have been, like me, wrong.The
first month was, indeed, a long, black, heavy month to me."

Not bizarre----but rather essentially an autobiographical story of Charlotte Bronte's relationship or infatuation with M. Heger.

Please may you tell me if it has any kisses or 18+ parts because I’m sensitive to such things ; I would read it if it has none!
