摘要

本文探讨了夏洛特Brontë的《维莱特》(1853)及其早期草稿《教授》(1857)中植物和植物生长的意义。虽然养老金花园是维莱特一个令人难忘的空间，但植物也是Brontë在小说中探索生长、再生和异质性的思维模式。对植物的思考让Brontë得以探索生与死、差异与结合、情感滋养与物质脆弱之间的矛盾。特别是，这种植物突出了生命形式对外部条件的敏感性，当时Brontë正在哀悼她的兄弟姐妹的死亡。通过阅读维莱特和迈克尔·马德尔(Michael Marder)的哲学著作《植物思考》(2013)，本文追溯了在一个特别孤独的时期，植物是如何让Brontë想象内心成长的。

‘Happiness is not a potato’: Plant-Thinking in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette and The Professor

This article explores the significance of plants and vegetal growth in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette (1853) and its earlier draft The Professor (1857). While the pensionnat garden is a memorable space in Villette, plants also figure as a model of thought for Brontë to explore growth, regeneration, and heterogeneity in her novel. Thinking about plants allows Brontë to explore contradictions between life and death, difference and conjunction, emotional nourishment and material vulnerability. In particular, the plant highlights the susceptibility of life-forms to external conditions, at a time when Brontë was mourning the deaths of her brother and sisters. Through reading Villette alongside Michael Marder’s philosophical book Plant-Thinking (2013), this article traces how the plant allowed Brontë to imagine inner growth during a particularly lonely period.
