Book report about The Woman in White The writer of The Woman in White,William Wilkie Collins(1824 –1889) born in London, was an English novelist, playwright, and author of short stories, who was keenly popular during the Victorian era and was named as the forerunner of detective novels. In 1854, meeting the literary giant ,Dickens, influenced by Dickens, he commenced to create detective novels. And The Woman in White was the author’s first detective novel which was published in 1860 and also initiated an additional way for English literature.
The Woman in White takes Laura’s unhappy marriage and the deep connection between her and Walter who is a young artist as the main line. Laura, the heir to a large fortune, a pretty and pure girl, insists following he r dead father’s decision to marry Sir Percival, a cruel and selfish man, whose aim is nothing but to occupy Laura’s property. In order to attain his goal, Percival conspiring with Laura’s uncle, hounds Anne(the woman in white) to death, who is Laura’s half sister , and throws Laura into asylum. But with the utmost help from Walter and Marian, finally, the scheme is revealed out and the truth is known. And overcoming obstacles together, the lovers have a lifetime for perfect felicity.
It is a story of greed and evil, innocence and betrayal, confused identities and cruel deceptions. And this is also a story of love----a love that begins with heartbreak and grief, where there seems no light forward,
no hope for the future. But love does not die easily; it can survive separation, and despair, and even death itself…I appreciate the love story about Walter and Laura, but I do adore Marian.
I can’t say Marian is the savior of Laura, but without her, Laura could do nothing but face her miserable destiny. “Can’t you see that Miss Halcombe has the courage and understanding of a man? How I admire that woman”, this is the exact words given by Count Fosco, her opponent. Even her enemy praises her. Don’t you think it is unnecessary for me to admire Marian for her virtue?
As Laura’s sister, as her moral support, she is always there, giving Laura a boost, helping her through difficulties. Coming back to earth, there is no one there who isn’t willing to be accompanied by a person who is reliable and dependable. But the chance of having a Marian is a million to one.
And now that it is like fishing for a needle in the ocean, we could switch our own role to Marians, care about friends and be of service to them. When they encounter great difficulties and need other's encouragement, we could be there; when they get achievements and are cheerful and joyful, we could be there.
Pay attention to the world around us, maybe our Marians have already been with us. Having friends is easy, having bosom friends is not easy. Cherish what you have at the moment.。
