"Moll Flanders" is a novel written by Daniel Defoe and published in 1722. It follows the tumultuous life of the titular character, Moll Flanders, who narrates her own story from birth to old age. Born into poverty, Moll rises through various social ranks by any means necessary, including theft, deception, and manipulation. Her journey takes her through multiple marriages, encounters with criminals, and periods of wealth and destitution. Despite her moral ambiguity and questionable choices, Moll remains a compelling and sympathetic character, driven by a desire for security and social advancement in a world dominated by class distinctions and gender inequality. Defoe's narrative provides a vivid portrayal of 18th-century England, exploring themes of survival, resilience, and the pursuit of wealth and status in a society rife with moral ambiguity and hardship.
