Charlotte's Art History Tarot - Card 0 - The Fool

[ofgraveconcern]

“It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.” ― Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights 24th September 1848, death of English painter and writer Branwell Brontë, brother of the writers Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Suffering from tuberculosis, Branwell’s death was hastened on this day at the age of 31, from alcoholism, and laudanum and opium addiction. Further suffering from alcohol withdrawal, his sister Charlotte recorded that he persisted as he was dying in wanting to show the power of human will, and remained standing until he died. Four days later he was interred in the family vault, to be joined in death shortly on the 19th December by his sister Emily, her health deteriorating rapidly, due to ongoing tuberculosis, the harsh winter, and the contamination of water in her house through run off from the church's graveyard. On the 29th May 1849, Anne also died from tuberculosis. Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights appears in the historically inspired Ofgraveconcern Industrial Sublime Tarot 1760 - 1848.

Writing Sample

Back from a long long hiatus with a new blog. I’ve never used Tumblr for profit before, so if anyone sees this and has any suggestions on how to “hook in” please let me know.

Charlotte Brontë’s Caroline, a Heroine’s Journey from Light through Darkness and into Wisdom

The late mythologist Joseph Campbell, in an interview with Bill Moyers discussed The Hero’s Adventure during the segment five of The Power of Myth. His theory is that we all take a hero’s journey at some point.  This journey consists of three links in a chain:  Separation, Initiation, and Return.

Charlotte Brontë’s heroine, Caroline Helstone, takes such a journey, physically but especially metaphorically in Shirley.

A Google search on “Yorkshire rectories” yields a virtual plethora of churches and their residences, from the quaint to the gothic to the downright drab. From various descriptions in the novel, it seems most logical that Caroline would be convalescing in a gloomy, mid-sized rectory.

Presently the niece was enclosed in her small bed-room; the door bolted… (Volume I, chapter VII “The Curates at Tea” p. 99)

And in undiminished gladness she rose the next day:  as she entered her uncle’s breakfast-room… (Volume I, chapter VII “The Curates at Tea” p. 100)

She had taken an early walk in the garden, and she told him that certain starlings were beginning to build their nests in the church-tower (Briarfield church was close to the Briarfield rectory); she wondered the tolling of the bells in the belfry did not scare them.

Clearly, here we see Caroline’s youthful outlook at the onset of the novel—one cloaked in the grandeur of innocence and love, even if her relationship with her uncle is one of partial strain.  Indeed, she appears as a light in a very dark place, where even the

personality of her uncle and the furnishings that inhabit the place are dreary and somewhat stark:

“Caroline,” said Mr. Helstone, bringing his hand slowly down to within an inch or two of the table, and then smiting it suddenly on the mahogany, “understand this:  it is vulgar and puerile to confound generals with particulars: in every case, there is the rule, and there are the exceptions.  Your questions are stupid and babyish.  Ring the bell, if you have done breakfast.”  (Volume I, chapter VII “The Curates at Tea” p. 102)

Her journey begins as a youth of eighteen.  It speaks to Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey by showing her as a living example of The Fool Tarot card (who represents, according to Campbell, the novice at the beginning of his excursion):

One passage in particular illustrates beautifully the ordeal of transforming from a wide-eyed innocent experienced adult:

At that time—at eighteen, drawing near the confines of illusive, void dreams, Elf-land lies behind us, the shores of Reality rise in front.  These shores are yet distant:  they look so blue, soft, gentle, we long to reach them…Every joy that life gives must be earned ere it is secured; and how hardly earned, those only know who have wrestled for great prizes.  The heart’s blood must gem with red beads the brow of the combatant, before the wreath of factory rustles over it.

At eighteen, we are not aware of this.

Alas, Experience!  No other mentor has so wasted the frozen a face as yours:  none wears a robe so black, none bears a rod so heavy, none with hand so inexorable draws the notice so sternly to his task, and forces him with authority so resistless to its acquirement.  It is by your instructions alone that man or woman can ever find a safe track through life’s wilds:  without it, how they stumble, how they stray!  On what forbidden grounds to they intrude, down what dread declivities are they hurled!  (Volume I, chapter VII “The Curates at Tea” p. 97)

Ms. Helstone lives in the sheltered world of her Uncle Matthew’s rectory.  Her passage from innocence to wisdom begins here, where she was left as a child by her mother.

           Early on in the novel, the other half of Caroline’s world consists of Hollow’s cottage where she is being educated in literature, French, and arithmetic by Hortense Moore.  Also living there is Hortense’s brother, mill manager Robert Moore. It isn’t long before Caroline’s uncle forbids her to see Robert due to political and personal reasons. We do not see how this takes its toll on her immediately, and its severity is not fully realized until later.  Upon Caroline’s return from her Exodus to Hollow’s cottage she experiences what can be called the gift of suffering, the “Experience” foreshadowed earlier in the novel.

           In this case, Experience takes the form of illness and the metaphysical flight she goes on while in its grip:

She felt a pulse beat fast in her temples:  she felt too her brain in strange activity: her spirits were raised: hundreds of busy and broken, but brilliant thoughts engaged her mind:  a glow rested on them, such as tinged her complexion.

Now followed a hot, parched, thirsty, restless night.  Towards morning one terrible dream seized her like a tiger: when she woke, she felt and knew she was ill.  (Volume III, chapter I “The Valley of the Shadow of Death” p. 422)

“Where is the other world?  In what will another life consist?  Why do I ask?  Have I not cause to think that the hour is hasting but too fast when the veil must be rent for me?  Do I not know the Grand Mystery is likely to burst prematurely on me? Great Spirit!”  (Volume III, chapter I “The Valley of the Shadow of Death” pp. 427-8)  

Later on in this same chapter, Miss Helstone makes another crucial discovery by way of a confession from Mrs. Pryor when she tells Caroline that she is her biological mother.  This is what we can refer to as our heroine’s Initiation.

Having fulfilled her quest, (what Campbell coined “Return,”) Caroline is now able to share with others what she has learned.  When she receives word that her beloved Robert has been the victim of an assassination attempt, she strikes a deal with young Martin Yorke in order to see him.

Upon visiting the Yorke estate—where Mr. Moore is recovering, she imparts upon him her new-found understanding of the more difficult aspects of life, and showers him with empathy:

“Do you suffer pain, Robert?”

“Not so much pain now; but I am hopelessly weak, and the state of my mind is inexpressible—dark, barren, impotent.  Do you not read it all in my face?  I look a mere ghost.”

“Altered, yet I should have known you anywhere: but I understand your feelings: I experienced something like it. Since we met, I too have been very ill.”

“Very ill?”

“I thought I should die.  The tale of my life seemed told.  Every night just at midnight I used to wake from awful dreams—and the book lay open before me, at the last page where was written ‘Finis.’ I had strange feelings.”

“You speak my experience.” (Volume III, chapter X “Martin’s Tactics” p. 583)

Now Caroline comes from a position of strength to her darling Mr. Moore.  Through her own grappling with anguish, she is finally able to understand the pain and suffering of others.

It is easy to see, by really absorbing the novel and observing carefully Caroline’s traits and her world, how she takes this Hero’s Journey. She is separated from the one she loves most, yet finds unexpected love along the way (in Mrs. Pryor), and goes from a youngster to a fully mature adult during the course of this journey. Through her trials, she grows from a girl into a woman worthy of marriage, and, indeed, is later on proposed to by Robert Moore.

Among other things, then, this tale is about proving that there is no growth without change; without effort of some sort. That a person builds character and becomes an adult not by age alone, but by the trials and tribulations she experiences.  It also shows that love is not the silly giddy feeling you get when being courted, it is the comfort and security of knowing that the one(s) you love—be they a parent, a friend, a lover, or a spouse—will be there when times become difficult or even unbearable.

contextualising

The history of the fair could be said to be useful in pointing out clues about the mysterious and perhaps unsettling (maybe magical?) atmosphere that underpins the funfair, and it is for this reason that I believe researching its origins will form an important foundation to my FMP. I have previously begun conducting this research when visiting the Musée des Arts Forains (Museum of Fairground Arts) in Paris in 2018. This museum houses the largest collection of fairground arts and solidified my interest in the fairground.

The rich history of the fair holds both economic and religious significance, although in time these two aspects became increasingly divorced from one another in reflection of the change in societal climate throughout the centuries. Ian Starsmore references in his book ‘English Fairs’ the authors T.F.G Dexter and Alfred Watkins (among others) who have suggested that the real beginnings of the fair are rooted in pre-historical ceremonial games that were held near barrows, stone circles and boundaries. In Ancient Greece, for example, these were based on funeral games while in places such as Syria and Rome the booths, tents and wooden stands for shows are known to have been used in early fairs.

In Britain, the Normans broadened the activities held at the fair and rooted them more firmly within the context of the Church, as their Kings were of the Catholic faith. In keeping with the violent nature of the early 12thCentury, for example, fairs became scenes of religious persecutions in a strand known as the ‘Martyr Fair’, whereby executions took place for entertainment purposes, as well as to punish individuals the Church did not approve of.

In the 19thCentury fairgrounds were arguably at their peak in terms of popularity and importance, reflected in the way that their design became more decorative. There was a mutation from fairs being environments of trade to become festive places dedicated almost entirely to entertainment in light of the Industrial Revolution.

As well as looking at the origins, development, changing values and aesthetics of the funfair, I will look at showmen and fairground people, an often-overlooked subsection of the travelling community. I hope to gain insight as to their migratory way of life, a lifestyle which is crucial for the fairground to run. John Thurston, chairman of the Norwich and Eastern Counties section of the Showmen’s guild, for example, is frustrated by the misconceptions the public hold of showmen and fairground people saying “we spend millions of pounds on equipment and yet the showmen are always portrayed as Gypsies”. Additionally, showmen communities value hard work, sticking together, respecting elders and helping each other; a deal is literally sealed with a handshake. This level of trust and these kind hearted values are scarce in today’s society, and this is something that interests me.

Other cultural references I will look at in my FMP include fortune telling, palm reading, tarot cards and other accessories traditionally found at the fair associated with magic. I want to investigate whether any truth can be found through these mediums, and how these activities came about.

The architecture and design of fairground attractions is another interesting aspect I will look at to contextualise my subject matter. With the long history of the fairground, its design has developed through many iterations from Archaic to Baroque to Kitsch. To investigate this further I will look at David Braithwaite’s 1968 book ‘Fairground architecture’, as well as Charlotte Dinger’s 1984 book ‘The Art of the Carousel’. I am also currently reading ‘The Night Circus’ by Erin Morgenstern which, although a fictional book, encapsulates the magical sense of mystery of my subject matter and I have found both inspiring and helpful when articulating my ideas so that I can begin to visualise.

Finally, I will research the Venetian Carnival and contemporary music festivals to examine the festivals that surround the subject area, having inspired and been inspired by the fairground respectively. In addition, the growth of theme and amusement parks such as Disneyland and Alton Towers is something that interests me as extensions of the fairground.
