Аннотация

This article analyses the linguistic and stylistic mechanisms through which Charlotte Brontë and William Makepeace Thackeray construct their heroines in two landmark 1847–1848 Victorian novels. Examining figurative language, free indirect discourse, structural irony, and dominant imagery, the study demonstrates that divergent formal choices encode ideologically incompatible models of Victorian femininity.
