Résumé

Résumé : "Agnes Grey" by Anne Brontë is a poignant exploration of the challenges faced by a young governess in 19th-century England. The novel begins with Agnes, the protagonist, recounting her family's financial struggles after a failed investment. Determined to support her family, Agnes decides to become a governess, despite her parents' initial reluctance. She secures a position with the Bloomfield family, where she encounters unruly children and indifferent parents. Agnes's attempts to educate and discipline the children are met with resistance, particularly from the eldest, Tom, who is spoiled and unruly. Despite her best efforts, Agnes finds herself struggling to maintain control and instill any sense of discipline or morality in her charges. The Bloomfields' lack of support and understanding further complicates her task, leaving Agnes feeling isolated and undervalued. Throughout the novel, Brontë highlights the social and economic challenges faced by governesses, who often occupied a precarious position between the upper and lower classes. Agnes's perseverance and moral integrity, however, shine through as she navigates the difficulties of her role, ultimately seeking a position where her efforts are appreciated and her values respected. The novel offers a critical commentary on the limited opportunities available to women and the societal expectations that constrain them.
