Pillule goes to treat a rich hypochondriac is called, comically, "Boquin-Moisi" ("mildewed book"). The name, ungainly and silly-sounding in English, does not translate to any particular word in English, but its relationship to the English word "bassoon" gives the word the aura of Frenchified pomposity. Polly's new name, too, and Ginevra's grand French relations named "Bassompierre," have an air of ridiculousness. Similarly, the fictional town of Villette (itself a diminutive of the French word for "city," implying that it is a pretend or miniature city, with pretensions to being a real city) is in the equally fictional "great" kingdom of "Labassecour"-which means, ridiculously, "barnyard." If the word is divided into three it means, similarly, "the low court." "Boue-Marine," the port in which she is to land, means "sea mud." Brontë is injecting a bit of humor and irony here, informing the knowing reader (and snubbing the noses of those who do not know the French words, or who fail to look them up) that Lucy is not heading into the paradisiacal happiness that might be expected. As Lucy Snowe travels to France, she is heading to two made-up French places (which are possibly allegories for real places in the country of Belgium). She died the next year, on 31 March 1855.Brontë hides some acidic commentary within some of the French words in Villette. She published Shirley in 1849, Villette in 1853 and in 1854 she married the Rev. Between 18 Charlotte lost her remaining siblings: Emily, Branwell and Anne.
In 1847 Jane Eyre became her first published novel and met with immediate success. Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were both published but Charlotte's novel was initially rejected. In 1846, along with Emily and Anne, Charlotte published Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.After this Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, Anne wrote Agnes Grey and Charlotte wrote The Professor. Charlotte worked as a teacher from 1835 to 1838 and then as a governess.
Read more taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored in their writing. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. Charlotte Brontë was born on 21 April 1816.
