The narrative isprofoundly controlled by the narrator, Lucy, and few are the momentsin which emotions take non-repressed forms within the text. One ofthe moments in which the opposite happens is in the chapter entitled“Vashti”, in which Lucy watches a play and gets impressed by the performance of the actress Vashti.

A narrativa é profundamente controlada pela narradora, Lucy, e são poucos os momentos em que as emoções tomam formas não-reprimidas no texto. Um dos momentos em que o oposto acontece é no capítulo intitulado “Vashti”, no qual Lucy assiste a uma peça e se impressiona com a performance da atriz, Vashti. O presente trabalho relaciona a tradição do conceito de gênio, em sua evolução pela história ocidental, e a representação da artista figurada no romance de Brontë, de modo a demonstrar o entendimento da escritora sobre o gênio feminino. Pode-se concluir que, para Brontë, a imagem da artista está relacionada a figuras iconicamente rebeldes da tradição ocidental, e que sua abordagem em Villette sobre a representação da genialidade feminina desvia do padrão vitoriano que ela mesma segue em outras obras.UFSC2021-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7280310.5007/2175-8026.2021.e72803Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 1 (2021): LiteratureIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 1 (2021): Literatura2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/72803/45277Copyright (c) 2020 Monica Chagas da Costahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChagas da Costa, Monica2021-01-28T02:23:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/72803Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2021-01-28T02:23:10Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
