The name of the blonde english girl is Ginevra, not Ginievre, i guess you ought to have known this if you've read it at least 3 times. What is melancholia?

i love Villete- which is probably an understatement as i've reread it at least 3 times. it is my favorite Charlotte Bronte book- i think it is an improvement on Jane Eyre and The professor. it has such a broad range of emotions. being someone who've suffered from melancholia and one way or the other poverty, i can understand. i think the characters are more developed than in any other of her books- i especially like how she paints the portrait of Genievre, and little Polly as a child, and little Polly grown up. this book is heartbreaking and wonderful- i think it is a fall read.
