Document Summary

188: mrs. pemberton to glenmurray on his deathbed, and thou art fallen! To set up thy vain chimeras child of error! The offences which will weigh down thy soul : challenging courtship fiction in that there"s no real hero to the novel, only a heroine; any potential heroes are inadequate in some way and glenmurray actually dies midway through. Fall out of love with husbands ; a way of redeeming the novel while delegitimizing the heroine. Illness and death: sir patrick"s death can be seen as a commentary on the inappropriateness of this actions w/ adeline and mrs. mowbray. Is the implication that none of these three men are appropriate or worthy for adeline. Is mordaunt the only man who suggests moral reformation for men: the possibility of redemption is foreclosed as the heroine"s reconnection with her family coincides with her demise.
