Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the novel, "Moll Flanders," and the issues raised about morality in the life of the title character. The paper begins with a summary of the novel with quotes from the text, giving the reader a background for the later analysis. Common themes of religion, poverty, crime, marriage, and overall ambiguity are analyzed, with attention given to the time period in which the novel was written and the literary style.

From the Paper:

"In Daniel Defoe's novel Moll Flanders, it is difficult for readers to determine the true moral and value system that the ambiguous Moll adheres to. Some readers may see her as a product of the society in which she was born and raised; other readers may see her as a free agent acting of her own volition. Defoe's brilliant writing style and technique ensures that readers have a favourable impression of Moll at the end of the novel, developing a character who has endured improbable hardships throughout the course of her life."
