The woman in white
The story happens in 19th in England. The author ---Willkie Collins is a realism author. He and Dickens at the same age and they are very good friends. In 1859, this story appears on Dickens’ magazine firstly.
This story surrounds the woman in white, tells about greed and evil, innocent and betrayal, confused identities and cruel deceptions. In this story have five main people, Walter, Laura, Marian, Sir Percival, and Count Fosco. In order to get money, he is married with Laura. And he confused Laura and Anne (the woman in white)’identities. But in the end his plot exposed. Laura and her really lover --- Walter live together.
This story is unique. The entire story is told by two people --- Walter and Marian. Author uses this two people to develop the story. It let people read interesting. All of this main people have their own character. Walter loves Laura deeply but he dares to express his love. But at last, he investigates this plot and let Laura get the things that she should have. In other words, Walter is author. They have the same experience. So author pins on him own wishes. Laura is the typical representation of innocent people. She is all boys perfect lover. She is kind but hopeless. Facing Sir Perivale’s threaten she can do nothing. Marian is a brave girl. She also loves Laura very much. In order to Laura’s happiness, she can do everything that she can do, including give up her own happiness. Sir Percival is a greed man. So as to get money he uses many ways. Count
Fosco is a crafty man. He is smart but wicked. So at the end of the story
--- Justice over evil. In this story, I admire Walter and Laura’s love, after
experience hard, they live together forever. I also admire Marian’s
bravery. Laura and Marian’ love and Mr. Fairley’s indifference to the
kindness form obvious contrast. Sir Percival and Count Fosco’ greed also
react the excessive pursuit of money.
In my opinion, gentlemen’s loves of money taken form the road. If the
things belong to you, no one can take away. If it isn’t belonging to you,
you will never get it. As the saying said, contents are better than the rich.
Money is important but doesn’t mean everything. Kindness, friendship,
love are all important than money. As Walter in order to his love, he is
willing to do everything that he can.
So from this story I know that cherish everything who loves you. At
the same time cherish nowadays, do everything that you can do better.
