This article considers the practice of care and the ethics embedded therein as represented in Villette, focusing on Lucy Snowe’s caring relationship with Miss Marchmont. The episode presents a remarkable narrative of suffering, healing and redemption in which the human experience of caring and being cared for is highlighted. Care, intrinsically relational, involves a complex cognitive, affective and moral interplay between two parties. It sustains the carer as well as the one cared for. The heroine’s caring practice, rooted in empathy, receptivity and relatedness, ultimately rehabilitates her own traumatised self. In the fullness of the relationship, both change and achieve a new identity. Here, care is envisioned as an existential affair through which we realise our humanity to the full extent. The novel, written amidst the author’s own suffering, illuminates the point that the ethics of care could inspire, sustain and redeem us at the time of illness and vulnerability.

本文考虑了Villette所代表的护理实践和其中所包含的道德规范，重点介绍露西·斯诺（Lucy Snowe）与马奇蒙特小姐（Marchmont）的关爱关系。这一集呈现了关于苦难，治愈和救赎的非凡叙事，其中突出了人类对照料和被照料的经历。护理本质上是关系性的，涉及到两方之间复杂的认知，情感和道德相互作用。它既可以照顾到照顾者，也可以照顾到一个被照顾者。女主人公的同情心植根于同情心，接受能力和亲和力，最终使她自己遭受创伤的自我恢复元气。在关系的充实中，既改变又获得新的身份。在这里，人们将关怀想象为一种存在的事物，通过它我们可以充分实现我们的人性。这部小说是在作者自己的痛苦中写成的，阐明了护理伦理学可以激发人们的注意点，
