Villanelle has gone through different ordeals all in the name of love. This section describes the life of Villanelle, the daughter of a boatman.
Henri begins doubting his master’s decisions and compassion which leads to his desertion. Some die of illnesses caused and the rest are killed on the battlefield. As the army moves from war to war, Henri witnesses hundreds of soldiers dying. However, as the years pass by, Henri’s admiration soon turns to love and finally to disgust. Initially, Henri takes pride in preparing the emperor’s meals and satisfying his taste for chicken soup. After his dreams of working as a drummer for the army are derailed, Henri is stationed as a cook for Napoleon.
However, this section follows the life of the protagonist, Henri. The Emperor, The Queen of Spades, The Zero Winter, and The Rock all employ repetition as the primary rhetorical tool. Like poetry, each section has its definite title and article. The novel is divided into four sections each serving the author’s multileveled tale. Winterson employs postmodernist techniques to bring her characters into life and relate their experiences. Also, despite being set in a historical era, the book disregards the traditional notions of historical context. Using her wit, Winterson tells her story in a rather poetic stance that is established by consistently reciting phrases and complete sentences. Unlike other books, The Passion does not conform to one genre. The leading characters, Henri, Villanelle, and The Queen of Spades are caught in a love triangle that leaves them hurt and discontent. The Passion is a contradictory love story by Jeanette Winterson, set in the Napoleonic era.
