Villette, Chapter 15: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. M. Emanuel accuses the narrator of ambition, then offers friendship and helps her conduct a successful English examination.
2. The school empties for the holidays, leaving the narrator with a servant and a disabled pupil whose care exhausts her.
3. After the pupil’s aunt takes her away, the narrator walks long distances and imagines Ginevra Fanshawe sustained by love.
4. Loneliness deepens into illness, sleeplessness, and a terrifying dream in which beloved dead people seem estranged from her.
5. She leaves the school and enters a church, where speaking to a sympathetic priest brings relief without changing her Protestant beliefs.
6. She becomes lost on her return, struggles through violent weather, and loses consciousness near a large building.
