Abstract
Unlike Jane Eyre where Charlotte Brontë tells a story truthfully and faithfully, of what she saw, Villette provides a Gothic uncertainty in its many levels of ambiguity. Unlike the standard feminine ideal of the time, Lucy Snowe does not passively accept how others view her, but takes a masculine, autonomous, predative view of others.
