This essay locates avenues in Charlotte Brontë’s  Jane Eyre  and  Villette  for discussing the parameters of women writers’ internalized patriarchy in Victorian Britain. The first segment treats the importance of the protagonists’ reliance upon different  mise-en-abyme  books, which act as mirrors that reflect and foreshadow the forlornness of Victorian women in Charlotte Brontë’s two novels. In the second segment, we discuss how Jane and Lucy acknowledge and become the delegates of Thanatos, the androcentric privilege, at the end of their narratives. Psychoanalytic concepts such as the mirror metaphor and the discussion of Eros and Thanatos are used as means to appreciate the detour of desire (which constitutes literary narrative) in the inevitable tour of death.
