I won\’t give away anything else, other than the story doesn\’t have take any twists and turns down a shocking ending, and I wouldn\’t recommend it. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. I recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about how perspective can influence the reader in literature. The first half is from the point of view of the \’Collector\’, who manages to paint himself as a fairly sympathetic figure I read this when I was quite young, so an older reader might see through the narrator a little more quickly than I did.

Despite the sad subject matter, I absolutely love this book. Required reading for any English student, and any aspiring writer.

It certainly inspired me to start working on my own novels! Frederick is a rather pathetic loner who collects butterflies and is infatuated by a beautiful student, Miranda. When he wins a large amount of money he concocts a plan to add her to his collection. My favourite part of The Collector was the opening paragraph. It set the story up perfectly. The first part of the novel is from Frederick\’s POV and details his preparations, the abduction, and the weeks that follow.

The reader gets a fascinating insight into Frederick\’s mind and the battle of wits with Miranda, although it becomes tedious in places. The second part is basically the same story from Miranda\’s POV, but told in a completely different way, which also provides an interesting insight.

There is a lot more introspection in this section, with Miranda reminiscing about her past and recording her thoughts in a hidden diary. This also becomes monotonous in places, but serves to show her state of mind wandering as things progress. The final part of the book is told by Frederick and forms the conclusion.

I thought the ending suited the novel perfectly. A well-written and fascinating novel that drags in places due to repetitiveness and rambling, but well worth a read.

John Fowles definitely made a splash on the literary scene when he debuted with this book, and it is easy to see why, as it still holds the same power that it did back in We then finish with the last two sections from Frederick again.

We thus meet Fred and see that he is a loner and collector of butterflies, and also works in the offices of the local council. But all this is to change when he has a big win on the Pools. We can already see that he has an obsession with Miranda, a young student that he has been watching. And now we see how far he will go with his obsession, with a new object to collect. By reading the first two parts so we can see how Miranda and Fred have different perspectives on the same incidents, and how they interact in the strange situation of warder and prisoner.

Taking in class, sexual dysfunction and culture, this also has a large slice of irony and absurdism, making for what is a thoughtful and gripping read, as we follow through to the end. Fowles also deceives us somewhat, because if you think about it, with the first-person narrative form for Fred we think we have worked out the final conclusion, only to see later that we have not.

The story at times becomes slightly uncomfortable due to the nature of the situation, and you do have to read between the lines at times to see what kind of person Fred is, as obviously he does not give us his full nature in what he narrates.

As for Miranda, we actually see her starting to grow up and mature as the story continues, whilst also recognising the sheer scale of her predicament. In all this is tightly woven, and I believe that although the author originally wrote this in a frenzy over three or four weeks, it was about another year before it was ready for publication as things were altered and the story sharpened.

We all know that such things go on, with women suddenly becoming released or escaping a demented captor, but by giving us this tale in a novel form so we are able to perhaps appreciate what happens in a different light, and how the obsessed does not realise that they are perhaps different and are not aware of the ultimate damage they do.

It has to be admitted that John Fowles does show a strong amount of restraint, as he could easily have then gone on to write a continuation to this and made his name perhaps by an easier way. I for one am glad he did not, as he showed his versatility and genius by producing other great reads for us. Well, I might not ever sleep again now. A man kidnaps a woman and takes her to his remote farm, keeps her locked up and wants her to love him.

The story starts well enough in London where the woman studies and then we see her taken to a remote and ficitonal farm somewhere near Lewes in Sussex. Oh my word. Horror fans will love it and I bet the film is even more chilling and uncomfortable. I finished it today and am still processing but ended up whizzing through the latter part of the story as I was finding it somewhat uninteresting.

It\’s a nice twist to tell the story from a different point of view – and Miranda\’s insights into her captor, class, art and so on, are quite interesting but I found the frequent diversions to her love life and friends a little too much and fundamentally irrelevant to the main story. Understand that this is somewhat more than a kidnapping story and has a more literary bent, but a little too much so for my taste at times when it wonders off on a flight of fancy about what Miranda thinks about things and her yearnings outside of the situation she is in.

This was all find up to a point but went on a little too much for me. Report abuse. However, when she wakes up, she confronts him with his actions. Clegg is embarrassed and promises to let her go after a month. He promises to show her \”every respect\”, pledging not to sexually molest her and to shower her with gifts and the comforts of home, on one condition: she can\’t leave the cellar.

The second part of the novel is narrated by Miranda in the form of fragments from a diary that she keeps during her captivity. Miranda reminisces over her previous life throughout this section of the novel; and many of her diary entries are written either to her sister or to a man named G.

Miranda reveals that G. At first, Miranda thinks that Clegg has sexual motives for abducting her; but, as his true character begins to be revealed, she realises that this is not true. She begins to pity her captor, comparing him to Caliban in Shakespeare \’s play The Tempest because of his hopeless obsession with her.

Clegg tells Miranda that his first name is Ferdinand eventual winner of Miranda\’s affections in The Tempest. Miranda tries to escape several times, but Clegg stops her. She also tries to seduce him to convince him to let her go.

The only result is that he becomes confused and angry. As Clegg repeatedly refuses to release her, she begins to fantasize about killing him.

After a failed attempt to do so, Miranda enters a period of self-loathing. She decides that to kill Clegg would lower her to his level. She refrains from any further attempts to do so. Before she can try to escape again, she becomes seriously ill and dies. The third part of the novel is narrated by Clegg. At first, he wants to commit suicide after he finds Miranda dead; but, after he reads in her diary that she never loved him, he decides that he is not responsible for what happened to her and is better off without her.

He buries her corpse in the garden. The book ends with his announcement that he plans to kidnap another girl. The Collector by Victoria Scott. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
