Wrong Hands by John Atkinson for January 08, 2016

So does Dante in the count of Monte Cristo, Jean Valjean in Les miserables, I am sure there are more that I don’t know about.

Its worse for the girls – mostly either ‘girl dies’ or ‘girl marries boy who became rich kid’.

He had a theme.

Tale of Two Cities – Poor guy loses his head.

Kafka took a different route, Metamorphosis – poor guy becomes a spider; now that’s definitely a poor guy who has no breaks.

Great Expectations is poor kid becomes rich kid (spoilers!) becomes poor again.
