To inform the reader, I would like to clarify that this book is not the original "Moll Flanders" text. Rather, it is a guidebook intended to assist students studying English literature.

If your goal is to read the original "Moll Flanders" text, then this guidebook is not what you are looking for.

Typically, guidebooks or book notes are created to help students better understand the original text and to highlight aspects that may be missed by a casual reader.

However, in recent years, it has become common for many students to rely solely on these types of guidebooks instead of reading the original text.

This is not a healthy habit, as while these notes may help them pass their exams, they miss out on many important aspects of the story that could benefit them later in life.

After reading this short guidebook, I strongly recommend that students read the original text again, even if they have already read it. They will likely discover new meanings to the story that were not apparent before.

All the best

The book is about the life of Moll Flanders who was born in Newgate and had a tumultuous life for over sixty years, during which she worked as a prostitute for twelve years, got married five times, one of which was to her own brother, and was a thief for twelve years.
