If I was doing the movie, I know the ending.Ī lasting favorite, by far preferred to Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte left the ending to the reader's discretion. I think the Bronte sisters were cast from the same high grade metal. I am always struck how a Bronte heroine can take a punch, then get up, put themselves in order then go to face life's next challenge. Cass also highlights those little flashes of Bronte humor which are not always apparent to a thick headed lug such as me. This emotion is understated but it is always there and one instinctively knows it runs deep. I think Karen Cass's particularly wonderful performance made the raw heart-felt emotions of Lucy Snow accessible, even more so than the book. While mostly unspoken, that same heart rending yearning is the soul of this work. He said it expressed the "yearning to belong" of the young woman. Holland tries to explain to the lead singer how a particular Gershwin song should be interpreted. Villette's Charlotte didn't need any tricks, just straight honest writing. In her most famous work and a favorite of mine, Jane Eyre, she used some tricks to move the story such as the unknown voices to bring Jane Eyre back to Mr. Villette is IMHO, Charlotte Bronte at her very best. The Bronte sisters followed the writer's golden rule: "Write about what you know." Their limited but intense life experiences informed their fiction.
