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 🤮🤮"

"I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered, they cease to please. I look on them as things rootless and perishable; their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love." Villette by Charlotte Brontë

m. paul in villette is literally so funny. like 10x more absurd than rochester if that's even possible. and what i enjoy about this book also is that charlotte brontë makes it extremely clear that he is supposed to be considered a bit ridiculous, which seems to be something that flies over the heads of a lot of people in regards to rochester in jane eyre.

like i just read a scene in which m. paul comes to a study hall where lucy and the students at madame beck's are quietly working and he tries to take a seat on a bench right in between lucy and ginevra who's like squished up next to her and when lucy scoots away to give him more room he freaks the fuck out and is like "SO I'M A PARIAH TO YOU NOW???? 😖😤" and then he makes all the students at the table get up and go to another table and then sits at the other end of the table lucy is still at and is like "IS THIS ENOUGH DISTANCE FOR YOU???? 😡😔" and lucy's like "idgaf i'm just chilling”

and then AFTERWARDS he comes up to her awkwardly and is like "whatcha doin? 🧍‍♂️👀" and she's like "making something for one of my guy friends" and he's like "😠😠😠 you are so rude and i take it very personally that you insist on hanging out around handsome 6'5 english doctors 😫😫😫" and THEN he's like "btw (even though you looked really hot in it 🔥🔥🥵🥵) i CANNOT believe you wore a slutty SCARLET (actually pink) dress that one time and wear flowers in your bonnet and a ribbon around your neck truly you need to be more modest like you were before (and not try to impress the Sexy Doctor)😔😔"

and then lucy's like "ok fair but....................................................................................................................................................................can i still wear a ribbon around my neck and flowers in my bonnet if they're small?"

and m. paul is like "...yes."

I stumbled on this reddit comment about Villette and it stopped me in my tracks.

Does anyone know what article they’re referring to and if the theory about Justine Marie Jr is legit?
