"The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders" by Daniel Defoe is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story chronicles the life of Moll Flanders, who is introduced as a complex character born in the Newgate Prison, experiencing a life filled with dramatic turns, including themes of crime, love, and redemption, as she navigates through her tumultuous existence marked by various relationships and struggles. At the start of the novel, Moll provides a glimpse into her troubled beginnings, having been born to a mother convicted of theft. She recounts her early experiences, detailing how she was left in the care of a nurse, who raised her with care, despite their poverty. Moll's childhood is filled with her grappling with her status and aspirations, longing to be a "gentlewoman" instead of a servant, reflecting her desire to rise above her circumstances. As she begins to develop into a young woman, her innate beauty and charm draw the attention of powerful men, setting the stage for her eventual entanglements in both romance and moral dilemmas. The opening sets the tone for a rich exploration of her character as she prepares to confront a life filled with both fortunes and misfortunes.
