Journal Topic 2 -- French Lieutenant's Woman

Sarah, in my opinion, almost reminds me of Tess. Fowles describes her as having a bit of misfortune. She is a good judge of character, which for the most part, works to her disadvantage. She seems out of place whereever she goes, and her behavior doesn't conform to Victorian expectations. "Her father had forced her out of her own class, but could not raise her to the next one." (48)
