“I thought I loved him when he went away; I love him now in another degree; he is more my own.” Villette, last chapter. (42.)

Some photo stills of "Villette" 1970 TV version featuring a scene where Lucy, Monsieur Paul and the students are having a picnic. Judy Parfitt plays as Lucy (top picture) and Paul Jeffrey as M. Paul (bottom picture; left).

"Villette" 1970 version is one of known TV adaptations based on a same title of a novel written by Charlotte Brontë and it was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation. It is said that all of its five episodes are currently lost and the only proof of existence are some of its photo stills available in BBC Archive.

Monsieur Paul Emanuel to Lucy Snowe most of the novel

[currer-bell-1816]

"You can't call yourself young at twenty-three; you have no attractive compliments - no beauty. As to admirers, you hardly know what they are; you can't even talk on the subject: you sit dumb when the other teachers quote their conquests. I believe you never were in love, and never will be; you don't know the feeling."

-Charlotte Brontë, Villette (1853)

I am reading Villette for the first time ever.

As of now I just have two opinions: Graham Bretton I was right to be crushing on you since chapter two; and Paul Emanuel is the most annoying little man ever, he truly embodies male pretentiousness at it's finest.

But having some experience with Charlotte Brontë chances are Lucy Snowe will not marry Graham Bretton, which saddens me because she truly shines with life when she talks to him, even if she indulges him too much. Ugh she probably will end with Professor Paul at this rate

📖 Villette by Charlotte Brontë

The bane of my existence. The phantom of my past. Salt in the wound. I was offered a hand by the same hand that delivered me to my slow, painful death.

All your life, you have suffered. The gods then took pity, so you are given a chance to have a sip from the cup of bliss. Ah! Finally! But wait… was it poison?

My God. This book! I couldn’t possibly describe the rollercoaster of emotions this book made me feel.

Traumatic. Made me cry myself to sleep. I squalled in disbelief when I finished it.

This is completely different from Jane Eyre, I was gobsmacked. Charlotte beware I will come to Haworth and dig you out just to get even.

Bravo, 5 ⭐️
