Here, she takes up a teaching position at an all-girls school where her internal struggles are externally mirrored through the use of Gothic doubling, a technique that deeply explores her psychological landscape. This novel is celebrated for its profound insight into Lucy’s psyche rather than its plot, making it a cornerstone in literary psychology.
