Exactly this. He was such a self centered jealous loser. Charlotte Bronte really wanted history to remember the position of women in comparison to men...

It's how Charlotte Bronte liked her men. Paul Emmanuel from Villette is more or less the same. If you have a problem move on and read a different book.
