Episode Synopsis

In “Moll Flanders,” Daniel Defoe aimed to pen a tale of a heroine who faced a life of poverty, perversion, and penitence. Instead, the title character was an unlikeable heroine  with surprisingly few empathetic qualities and a negative character arc showing that not women are heroines.
