varvara 's review for:
The French Lieutenant's Woman
by John Fowles
This just in: Man Sees Vulnerable Woman Who Wants To Be Left Alone, Decides She's A Mystery And Stalks Her
The follow-up story: Man Decides Vulnerable Woman Must Be Eternally Grateful To Be Saved; Devastated When Finds Out She Has The Audacity To Be Fine Thank You.
The French Lieutenant's Woman was not my cup of tea. Half the time I had to hope that Fowles makes Charles have some stupid notions about women (and Jewish people for some reason) for the sake of authenticity, but still this didn't help the fact that I either despised him or found him incredibly pathetic. He even reminded me of Clyde Griffiths (American Tragedy) from time to time, and maybe his decision to break off the engagement was the only redeemable thing about him. Neither of the alternate endings seemed plausible to me. The story was almost saved by Sarah saying that she wouldn't marry neither man because they don't realise that what they think absurd is real to her, but that's about the only thing I liked about them. The breaking of the forth wall was fun at first, but grew tedious by the end of the story.
