What’s harder: going to war or making memes in a fandom from 1850s
so beyond frustrated with lucy snowe. girl get a grip. get your head out of your self-deprecating ass and let yourself have a dance, have a show, have a smile on your dreary, sad, miserable face.
Monsieur Paul Emanuel to Lucy Snowe most of the novel
“But I got over that pain also. Life is still life, whatever its pangs: our eyes and ears and their use remain with us, though the prospect of what pleases be wholly with-drawn, and the sound of what consoles be quite silenced.”
- Charlotte Brontë, Villette
Lucy Snowes mindset of reason over feeling is mostly due to her being poor. Obviously, it’s also because of low self esteem but I’d argue it’s 80% because she is broke.
Snowe is a young, ‘unattractive’ and stereotypically wise girl. Throughout the novel, she is picking up jobs and working for aristocratic individuals, which leads to her being around plenty of rich people. Unfortunately, being broke and upset about being broke, on top of already working your ass off for upperclass makes you very bitter and depressed. Which is true, throughout the novel, she’s severely depressed (for a plethora of reasons). Which leads me to believe her mindset to be choosing reason and only doing things she needs to do, is because she believes that’s how you gain wealth and respect. But, she also constantly doubts her self so maybe she’s just.. assumed she reached. her limit for life. Maybe this is it. This is what lower class citizens deserved. This is what they think like and how they live. That’s so sad 😭. Lucy ☹️☹️.
Hear me out but Lucy Snowe lowkey is an ENTP but that’s gonna have to be a very long explanation
“-so peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed; so long especially, as Liberty lends us her wings. and Hope guides us by her star.”
