I read classics for fun, but this one was hard to get through. I just could not relate to any of the characters. I did love the classic Bronte writing style though.

3,25 Hunsden sei il mio patatone.

Un libro abbastanza interessante, con una scrittura molto dolce e scorrevole (tranne quando Charlotte ha fatto capire che per lei le zitelle dovrebbero morire tutte tristi e sole), con una relazione teacher/student senza pedofilia

Hunsden l'ho trovato il mio patatone più grande, sembra che non ci tiene, però alla fine trova il lavoro a Will e gli regala il ritratto di sua madre così che non venga perso. Può essere un grande stronzo (insulta le origini di Frances perché gli va), però lo so che è dolce dentro.

Abbastanza interessante e scorrevole, anche se il protagonista è un po' scialbo e dopo che Frances viene quasi cacciata dal collegio diventa pure lei abbastanza insipida, molto, troppo, sottomessa al suo maestro. Anche se poi vuole tornare a lavorare ed essere attiva, alla fine quando se ne va in Inghilterra sembra che se ne dimentichi, e diventa la donna moglie e madre perfetta (anche se cessa, cosa che sia Hunsdsen che Will continuano a ribadire).

Lo consiglierei? Sì, interessante, mi ha fatto venire voglia di leggere altri scritti della Bronte. Peccato per tutti gli insulti all persone belga (e francesi e inglesi e insomma erano tutti vittime) e a qualche tirata sessista verso la fine, anche perché Frances diventa molto insapore alla fine.

dato che nella vita reale la cara charlotte non ha potuto sposarsi col professore da lei amato ha deciso di reagire nella maniera più pacata possibile ovvero scrivendo una ff romance 60k slow burn alternate canon original characters reader insert (e la reader è lei). la amiamo, la veneriamo e la rispettiamo per questo

Villette but watered-down, with a male protagonist and a happy ending. Interesting to consider it as its unpublished precursor, restitched with pieces of herself and only published after her death. Still enjoyable, more analogous to the length and couple of Agnes Grey.

it was … ok. i was expecting a lot more engagement w power dynamics by the book’s blurb. it just seemed quite surface-level and not actually that important for the characters? i think jane eyre does that better ??? my favourite scenes were the ones with hunsden in them, especially the ones where he and frances debate. basically they were both way more interesting than the main guy. hunsden’s power is that which does not need to be and cannot be bestowed by anyone. but he seems to sacrifice a lot to maintain it. i’m honestly not sure who i’d rather be.
