Villette, Chapter 19: samenvatting
Chapter 19 van 42 · 19 min om chapter te lezen
In Chapter 19, Lucy Snowe enjoys an extended recovery with the Brettons and develops her own judgments about paintings during visits to galleries. Paul Emanuel challenges her freedom to view Cleopatra, while her observations of him, Colonel de Hamal, and Graham Bretton expose different standards for women and different kinds of male vanity.
Wat er gebeurt
- Mrs. Bretton secures extra recovery time for Lucy, and Madame Beck visits La Terrasse with elaborate compliments.
- Outings reveal Graham Bretton’s practical kindness, while Lucy also describes his private appetite for admiration.
- Alone in galleries, Lucy stops forcing herself to admire celebrated paintings and values particular examples of truth to nature.
- Paul Emanuel finds Lucy before Cleopatra, moves her elsewhere, and questions both her independence and her care of Marie Broc.
- Lucy rejects his prescribed pictures, watches Colonel de Hamal admire Cleopatra, and rejoins Graham.
- Graham dismisses Cleopatra’s appeal and contrasts the painted woman with Ginevra.
