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 ☹️☹️.

Madame Bovary is so incredibly beautiful and very interesting! I especially like it because the main woman is not really this perfect victim or a damsel in distress type. I mean, she’s pretty much taking it into her own account by having that affair. And her on and off feeling toward religion really adds. She’s so interesting and very blunt. Sometimes the guilt gets her, sometimes she couldn’t care less.

Hear me out but Lucy Snowe lowkey is an ENTP but that’s gonna have to be a very long explanation

This reminded me of when Macbeth asked two servants to murder the kings sons and then a third servant randomly appears. And then he did like.. nothing.

I’m at buccees thinking about how Macbeth was losing it and literally going hysteric over his guilt, yet still attempted to become king. Insane. Love Buccees

BRO WAIT LUCY SNOWE AND HESTER PRYNNE ARE LIKE. THE SAME. BRO. IM A GENIUS

Ok my reasoning for them is very broad. It mostly just comes down to the stories both having hints of hypocrisy and absurdity against women. The main women are faced with these challenges but since they’re so badass and iconic, they get through it. They push on and on and also kinda lose their mind a bit. This will be more detailed it’s late right now goodnight

my Project Hail Mary theory is that the Barbie Movie was just the weird hallucination that Ryland Grace had while he was in that 4 year coma

This is canon, I repeat this is canon.

I think another huge part of why I loved Villette so much was because it wasn’t heavy boy focused. I love romance as much as the next person but it wasn’t the only thing she thought about. Hell, when she did think of Dr John, it wasn’t JUST about him. It was needed to show her and how she acts with vulnerability. So even then it was needed!!! I love Villette please read it

Also plan to read Shirley next I’m so excited
