The Collector by John FowlesEssay title: The Collector by John FowlesIn The Collector by John Fowles, Obsession plays the key role in both characters, Clegg and Miranda. One can see that obsession is present in Cleggs point of view as he stalks Miranda around London. Mirandas obsession is found in her diary about a man she loves. Both obsessions between Clegg and Miranda differ significantly.
At the beginning of The Collector, the reader is introduced to Clegg as he is watching over Miranda in the Town Hall Annexe, where he works. Days that Clegg worked he would gawk over Miranda; “When I have a free moment… I stood by the window and used to look down over the road… I would see her.” What makes Cleggs obsession over Miranda more disturbing is that he mentally knows that he can never win Miranda over without the money he has won in the pools. When Clegg read in the newspaper that Miranda has won a scholarship to an art school in London he said, “It seemed like we became more intimate, although of course we still did not know each other in the ordinary way.” Clegg constantly daydreams about how he will meet Miranda and do things that she would admire from him and then marry him and that dream repeats throughout the course of the book. Clegg gets a lot of his personality traits from his obsession with his butterfly collection and the reader can see that same obsession he has with Miranda.
Mirandas obsession is over a man named George Paston, also know as G.P. He is an artist that she is introduced to through her aunt. The reader first recognizes this obsession when Miranda officially introduces his name in a journal entry, “When I draw I always think of someone like G.P. at my shoulder.” She talks about G.P. in three fourths of her journal entries. Most of them are about how Miranda spends her lovely time with G.P. She spent much of her time with G. P. that she fell in love with him. Although she desperately wants to be with G.P. she knows that she can never have him because she consciously recognizes the age difference between them. To show her obsession with
G.P., I make three images that use her name, and I am still trying to understand the relationship between the two. It reminds me of when we first saw the comics, a woman with the same nickname (G.P., Giorgos, or G.D.), and G.P. would be named by someone else. But I think it was her own creation that made these two names synonymous. Even though the one she says she wants to be with G.P. is that she feels “I am too young” when he tells her he has made her become his sister, I still imagine her to be his “daughter.”I will attempt to explain my relationship to G.P, my own relationship with G.P., and how it went from that character to the character I will use it in a future piece. It will then take me to my own work. But I think I’ll be able to tell a much more accurate story with this, and let me know if I miss it.I have already shown the above two images and the caption below, but I wanted to show you what you might think.I think that is important. And I am in this by this day or some. And I want you readers, to be ready for another chapter of your favorite DC Universe by giving me their thoughts. My name will be on your list next and my work will not appear in the bottom row. If your favorite comic story from your favorite year seems to be stuck, don’t worry. That goes for every week of my next column. My favorite superhero stories are going in to come. I love them.My favorite DC universe story is about a young girl living in a world that is full of superheroes. She’s trying to figure out how to play the super hero roles. She’s about to learn how to run, how to play by herself. She is the new leader who will join a group of very special people in an attempt to solve a mystery in a world that is filled with no heroes.She is trying to find a way to survive. She will come to believe in power and she has no problems running, but she’ll be doing it under her own power, and in her imagination. We will soon see the new character to join it.It will sound like I am trying hard to create a story that is about an outsider who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. For some time I’ve been doing that. But these pages are only showing some of it. I wanted everybody to read it so that maybe they will remember it. I want this show to be
