一念发动即是行

The Woman in White is an epistolary novel written by Wilkie Collins in 1859, serialized in 1859-1860, and first published in book form in 1860.

There are three typical women in this story, Laura, Anne and Marianne. Laura is tender, beautiful and kind, and in the eyes of men, she is an ideal wife, However, those words also mean weak, which cause their tragedy for some reason. Anne is a innocent but have mental problem girl, and she want to tell Laura about her fiance’s scheme, that lead to her dead directly. Contrasted with them, Marianne is more attractive for me, though she isn’t so beautiful. She is brave, smart and selfless, and even the Count Fosco admit “she is a amazing woman”.

In the chapter IV, when she found something was suspect, she takes a life risk to eavesdropping the conversation between Percival and Fosco  under the window with heavy rain and dark, just for her sister, and I was moved by her selfless and love. What’s more, while she and  Hartright were fighting with Percival in the fire, she performance great courage and wisdom, until Percival died. And after Laura married with Hartright, she still takes care of them with her whole heart.

" White lady" is indeed a worth reading the novel.< The Women in White > is a detective book, and firstly I was attracted by its name, because it gives me lots of imagination. But after reading it, I think it have more significance, especially about Marianne. She is so selfless and love her sister so mach, that all make me think of my old sister.

But now all changed for everything my old sister has done for me, and I begin really understand how precious the love in families is.
