Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe Summary
Overview of Moll Flanders
Born in prison, Moll Flanders survives as thief, prostitute, and accidental bigamist in Defoe's groundbreaking 1722 novel. With its scandalous 183-word title and unflinching portrayal of female survival, this pioneering work once faced police censorship yet remains startlingly modern three centuries later.

When Survival Becomes Sin
Born in a prison cell to a condemned thief, Moll Flanders enters the world already marked by society's judgment. Her mother, awaiting transportation to the American colonies, leaves behind an infant who will spend her entire life navigating the brutal economics of survival in 18th-century England. What happens when the world offers you nothing but demands everything? Moll's story forces us to confront this question with unflinching honesty. In a society where women had virtually no legitimate means of self-support, where poverty was treated as moral failure rather than systemic injustice, Moll's choices become a mirror reflecting the hypocrisies of her age-and perhaps our own. Her journey from abandoned orphan to convicted criminal to prosperous plantation owner spans continents and decades, yet the central tension remains constant: how do we judge those who break the rules when the rules themselves are broken?
