who The cripple doesn't have many roles, but he is the one who helped SUE escape from birth. He has a righteous personality, and is easy to trust others. He is simple, innocent, and cute.
I have to say that Richard is a charming and handsome man. Even after his death, girls in London cut out his pictures in the newspapers to commemorate
him. People who don't know him will think he is a kind and good man Gentleman, courteous and suave, even the little lame man, who was out of a job, thought of going to London to find Mr. Richard, because he was generous and kind.
I am afraid that only the two heroines tied to the chain of interests with him know how cruel
he is. His every move is so generous and fit, whether he is in contact with the upper class or the lower class, he can do it with ease, that "happy birthday, Maud" paired with his graceful movements, which is really charming.
2 The first time he met Maud, he knew that Maud would not be tricked into getting married by his trick of bewitching little girls, so he changed his strategy and used "freedom" to attract Maud. It can be seen that he has a flexible mind
3 He has The speaker's potential, in order to convince Maud, as an outsider, he took the lead, rushed into the forbidden area of other people's study, opened the curtain and said, "Look, this is freedom,
Maud , don't you want it?" , he used 3,000 pounds to attract SUE to conspire with Maud, and after the background of this conspiracy, he and Maud actually murdered SUE by using the method of "stealing the sky for the sun", trying to use SUE to replace Maud's surrogate in the asylum. This plan is very shrewd. What is even more difficult is that Richard persuaded the female protagonists separately and made the plan come into effect. The
most powerful thing is that SUE and Maud were both shaken during the implementation of the plan. The other party's happiness, giving up money (SUE) and freedom (Maud), Richard acting on both sides, putting out fires on both sides, using various methods, all kinds of coercion and inducements to persuade the two, finally ensured the normal implementation of the plan. How much brain hole does it take to play such a complicated game?
5 Richard also has keen observation skills. Although he has not been in Blair Manor for a long time, he is keenly aware of Maud's unusual feelings for SUE. This little thief has such feelings, she needs to know, she can laugh to death, I have to tell her"
with a digression (original novel): When Richard said this sentence to Maud, he described it from Maud's perspective like this Yes, the picture is beautiful.
"He's getting harder, holding me with both hands and twisting my arms behind him. He's tall. He's strong. He can wrap my wrists with just a few fingers - like those young lads, I Believe, it's like holding their sweetheart's wrist. I struggled for a moment: we both stood in a stalemate, sweating like a pair of gladiators in a gladiatorial arena. But I think, looking at a certain distance, the two of us It's like being in love with me. And I think about it dimly; soon I feel tired. The sun is still shining. The mist is still lingering, and the water is still dabbling on the reeds. But time has passed Breaking down, being torn apart: I can feel time beginning to wither, precipitation, tightly surrounding me, layers upon layers suffocating me.”
With an off-topic (original novel), the gentleman asked Maud why he fell in love with him SUE, this is what Maud thinks in his heart (background: servants in that era were like robots, they only needed to complete the task of serving their masters, and there was no extra emotion; Maud's least favorite thing was eggs)
"Where should I start? When I woke up in a daze, only she held me against my chest. Only she breathed to keep my feet warm. Only she used a silver thimble to grind my teeth. Only she brought me soup - clear soup — not eggs, and smiled at me drinking soup. Only her eye has a dark pupil. Only she thinks I'm a good... person"
6 In fact, Richard is still a bit human, when he Inadvertently saw the private and intense emotional expression of the two girls. He was shocked, but he didn't laugh, didn't continue to peep, didn't stop drinking, just walked away silently, maybe because he also knew: this is just a tragic farewell.
7 In the end, Richard definitely didn't expect that not only did he not get the money, but he would also be killed by Maud. He was so smart when he was dying, knowing that the people in the hut would not call the police, he called "Charlie..." The little cripple woke up from the shock, "murder!, have a murder! The little cripple ran out very fast.
I still like Richard very much.
With an off-topic (original novel) SUE's narration Maud
" I was with her all day Sitting and walking together, I was pushing her into the abyss of fate full of disaster, and I hardly dared to touch her or look her in the eyes. At night I slept with my back to her with the blanket over my ears so that I wouldn't hear her sigh. When she went to her uncle, I could feel her—I could feel her, despite the walls, like some deceitful blind men claim they can feel gold. It was as if I unknowingly had a feeling between us. No matter where she is, this feeling pushes me right in front of her. It's like—as if you're in love with her, I thought. "
With a digression (original novel) Maud's narrative SUE
"She came to Blair to destroy me, to deceive me, to hurt me. I looked at her and told myself this. Look how small, how dark, how insignificant she is! A thief, a little thief—I think I will swallow my desires as I have swallowed sorrow and anger. Am I supposed to be defeated by her? Should I be chosen by her, firmly tethered to my past without touching my future? I don't think so. "
I also like the two heroines very much. They have great acting skills and beautiful pictures. The two heroines have local characteristics. At first glance, one is Irish and the other is British.
