Compare Ginny's Letter To The Wife Of The D Urbervilles

859 Words4 Pages

Ginny stared at the little cabin she’d been given. She could hardly imagine spending three

months into this little room. Inside was a small bed –more of a cot really- pushed up

against one wall. On the other wall there was a small desk and chair. On top of the desk

were two journals, one a gift from Christian and the other one Ginny brought. Ginny had

already poured her heart out in the one she brought. The one Christian had gotten her

how he tried to have a controlling one.

Ginny knew how easy it would be to give into Christian’s controlling grasp. How easy it

would be to just give up, surrender to Christian. She wouldn’t do that. She was strong.

Ginny thought of the things Stephen told her. He was always there for her. Even if he
