Is Suzie good for Robert to be his wife?

"The World of Suzie Wong" is a film that shows too many problems between two human beings of different race while falling in love. The film that tells a love story between an American artist and a Hong Kong prostitute who overcome pride and prejudice and start a new stage of life. The story is set in Hong Kong in the late fifties of the last century. Robert Lomax is a middle-aged American architect tired of his routine, he takes a year off traveling to Hong Kong to pursue his dream of being an artist. He encounters an attractive girl (Suzie Wong) on Hong Kong 's Star Ferry to Kowloon, who pretends herself as coming from a wealthy family,

The film also tries to capture the exotic beauty of the old-time Hong Kong. Long before it became the modern commercial center it is today. Star Ferry, Central, Victoria Harbor, Sampans, rickshaw, floating restaurant, huts, hillside towns, Joss-sticks burning ritual all breathes the smells of the Orient.

After she met with Robert, she wants to be his permanent girlfriend because she feels that he was a gentleman. She was portrayed as an uneducated woman because her English was poor and she cannot even read. Once she went for dinner with Robert where she orders by pointing her finger instead of reading menu which turns out salad dressing. Suzie was childish who always try to be famous in front of her friends. Once she was asked by Robert to pose for his job, but she started lying to her friends saying that he wants to marry her for God sake. She was doing wrong by pretending herself being good and beautiful. She was a mother of a baby but she never exposed to anyone because she was afraid of getting her baby killed. I think what she was doing was right because she was not doing for her happiness, but was doing because of her baby being killed. After she met with Robert and fell in love with him, she stopped dating with other and asked Robert whether to go or not? So, this
