It's been years since I read Villette, and your description of it makes me want to pick it up again and read it in the new light. I was too busy the first time round being shocked into hysterical laughter by Lucy's mental breakdown (and making a priest regret asking if she wanted to talk to him about her woes, lolol. what I wouldn't give for a snippet of his POV.) and generally waiting for Lucy to get some kind of reprieve from any quarter (I did not know what I was getting myself into when I was given the book) to think about subtext. I hope someone writes some Lucy/Ginevra for you!
