John Fowles' "The French Lieutenant's Woman": Alienation
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Alienation can accurately be described as an inclination of temperament or outlook. Another way to describe it would be to call it a highly personal and unreasoned distortion of judgment. More often than not, alienation is defined as a negative outlook. In the case of John Fowles' "The French Lieutenant's Woman," alienation is what the author's protagonist -- Sarah – comes to loathe. While she is an upstanding and compassionate woman, she is unfairly thrust into the lair of societal judgment when she is falsely accused of being a whore. The writer discuss how this erroneous conclusion not only causes her unmerited emotional distress but it also casts an even larger shadow of doubt as to whether or not her French sailor will ever return for her. No additional sources cited.
