Other than all of the depressing themes in the story, one positive
scene I saw in the story that stood out was how Maria had read the books that
was available to her and then help her lead up to the man Darnford and Jemima. After
some conversations with each other, all three characters begin to open up with
each other. It is sort of strange how the whole destiny of their meetings were
triggered by the books. However, the content of the books which started the
whole thing was unique because the story itself refers to Milton’s Paradise
Lost and Dryden’s Fables. Some of these works are very influential for the time
as is today. However, one could say that the books themselves took an identity
in which guided all the characters to meet. Books themselves present people
with the transfer of knowledge, but could they be also a guide for people to
meet with others with the same understanding of the story itself? Nevertheless,
Maria had found some escapism of the world around her in the books and found
some moment of peace with the idea of what the books presented.
