A review by gae6ase
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
5.0
"Don't doubt my courage, Walter, it's my weakness that cries, not me."
"Behold the cause, in my Heart--behold, in the image of Marian Halcombe, the first and last weakness of Fosco's life!"
I just wish Marian had a bigger role to play aside from supporting Laura in the end. Walter bored me with his cautionary language at certain points during his second narrative. Her journal entries were the most sophisticated and entertaining parts of the story, aside from Fosco's narrative (still, in which he praises her!). I guess Collins' purpose was to point out this typicality in Victorian female characters and in women during the time?
