I feel I have barely touched on the main points and the depth that is in Armadale. Though the book is called Armadale, I believe that Miss Gwilt is the main character within it.Ĭollins puts in plenty of excitement (poison, attempted murder, coincidence, and a lunatic asylum), yet it is utterly convincing and real. Collins gave us pages of her journal (progressively more throughout the book) so we’d see just what she was thinking and how she was developing. She was captivating in a way no one else in the novel was. I absolutely loved how Collins created her character, for she makes this story the fascinating page-turner that it is. I liked her, ridiculous and bad as she was even on good days. Wilkie Collins doesn’t quite excuse her actions but as we progressively learn more about her, the story truly becomes hers and we see a bit of where she is coming from.

Armadale Collins, Wilkie (1824-1889) ISBN: 9788490657706 Editorial: Alba Editorial Fecha de la edición: 2021 Lugar de la edición: Barcelona. The first two hundred pages of this chunkster seemed a bit slow, but once Lydia Gwilt began to interact with the men at Thorpe Ambrose, I did not want to put it down. Another theme that seemed central was the one I most enjoyed, the question of good and evil.
