Moll Flanders

Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe is a gripping tale of survival, sin, and redemption in 17th-century England. Born in Newgate Prison, Moll narrates her tumultuous life as she strives for security and wealth in a harsh, unforgiving society. Through a series of marriages, thefts, and betrayals, Moll navigates poverty and prosperity, driven by desperation and ambition. Her journey takes her from London to Virginia and back, entangled in moral ambiguity and societal critique. Despite her crimes, Moll’s resilience and wit make her a compelling antiheroine. Ultimately, she seeks redemption after years of vice, reflecting on her choices with a mix of regret and pragmatism. Defoe’s vivid storytelling blends social commentary with an unflinching look at human frailty, making Moll Flanders a timeless exploration of identity, morality, and the pursuit of happiness.
