Bronte’s last novel, Villette, very directly comments on the differences between the Protestant and Catholic religions while at the same time showing how it is more than possible to live peacefully with people who believe different things than themselves. Through both of these novels Bronte is able to address and propose solutions for the religious turmoil that was rampant in the world.

The excerpt from Virginia Woolfe's A Room of One's Own expresses the idea that Charlotte Bronte's works are interrupted and twisted by her interjections of her own sentiments and longings into her writings.
