"How beautiful she grew in her happiness,"
~ Charlotte Brontë, Villette (1853)

I know this kind of falls under unreliable narrator but is there a name for the literary device where the narrator suddenly reveals a crucial piece of information to the reader out of nowhere like it's nbd. like in villette when she doesn't tell us who the doctor is or that she recognized him until a hundred pages later. or also in villette when after four hundred pages of paul locking her in attics and yelling at her for looking at paintings she's suddenly like "oh I might not have mentioned that every day he also left little presents in my desk. just books and bonbons and stuff like that, that he thought I might like. I might have forgotten to mention that part. anyway" and just goes on with the story. maybe we should call it the lucy snowe gambit

i really love the way charlotte brontë writes her male love interests bc for the a-tier ones she always has her heroines be like "he's a weird ugly mean little freak absolutely DRIPPING with rizz and i NEED him carnally" and for the b-tier ones they're always like "finance, trust fund, 6'5, blue eyes 🤮🤮"
Lucy Snowe is beginning to reflect some of the deepest shadows of my own being, and I wasn’t expecting that at all.
I think that’s one of the quiet miracles of classic literature. If you let your soul guide you instead of forcing your way through a book, the right story finds you at the right moment. It becomes less about reading a character and more about recognizing parts of yourself you hadn’t fully seen before.
Sometimes the books we’re meant to read don’t arrive when we first pick them up. They wait until we’re ready to hear what they have to say.
Villette took its time with me. Now I understand why.
listen i truly enjoy jane eyre and respect her obviously vital place in the western canon, but i will admit that any time i hear a person say they think villette is the best bronte book i do fall in love with them a little bit
