"There is nothing wrong with the plot of the original novel except the hasty ending."


    "The key lies in the characterization and the details of the plot. Su''s personality needs to fit her identity. She is a thief, but the dirty living environment does not deceive her kindness. That''s why Maud falls in love with this woman who takes care of herself wholeheartedly."


    "Maud was never an innocent young lady. In order to escape the control of her uncle, she planned a plot with a gentleman to send sue to a lunatic asylum. The plan of the gentleman was seen through at the beginning, so she had no choice but to cooperate with Maud. All the plots were designed by Aunt Saxby, who deliberately let the gentleman contact Maud."


    "Nobody expected that Maud and Sue would have feelings for each other


    Harvey closed his eyes to meditate on the original novel of the city of thorns, and his sensitive thoughts quickly clarified the key to the novel.


    The plot of "the city of thorns" is divided into three parts, the first part is the life experience of the heroine sue, the second part is the life experience of the heroine Maud. The third part runs through the full text. Sue, Maud and gentlemen are just pawns in Saxby''s plan. Saxby''s mother is Maud''s biological mother, and Sue is the one who should be the first lady.


    At the request of Sue''s mother, aunt Saxby switched her two children. Sue''s mother promised to give her two children half of their property. Now, for the sake of wealth and her daughter Maud, aunt Saxby is going to sacrifice sue, who has been raising her for more than ten years, to get the part of her property


    "The first and second parts of the story are excellent, especially at the turning point of the story, when sue is taken as a gentleman''s wife and put into a lunatic asylum. Then, if you look at her and Sue''s experience again from the perspective of Maud, you will find that everything she did is justified. Maud knew the plan from the beginning, but even so, she still fell in love with Sue, who took care of herself wholeheartedly. Therefore, on the night when she was ready to flee, she repeatedly asked Sue whether she wanted to marry a gentleman or not, If Sue had said no at that time, Maud would have been soft hearted and gave up the whole plan. "


    "As the third part of the first and second parts of the plot, reveal all the true images, including the real life experience between sue and Maud


    Harvey thought hard and integrated all the clues about "the city of thorns" in his mind. The city of thorns is just like "ice and snow", because the turning point in the middle part of the plot is so wonderful that the happy ending seems hasty and mediocre.


    "It shouldn''t be like this. It shouldn''t end in such a hurry." Harvey held his hands and murmured.


    There is nothing wrong with the plot setting of "the city of thorns". The foreshadowing of the plot of the third part can be seen in the first and second parts. However, maybe the screenwriter is too focused on the shooting of the first and second parts to ignore the influence of the third part. The plot of the third part itself is based on the reversal of the first and second parts.


    "The third part should reflect the attitude of the two protagonists in the face of fate jokes. Maybe we can arrange some other plots to enter. For example, Maud lives in Sue''s room and finds Sue''s diary. In the diary, he writes about Sue''s struggle in the face of this plan and her concern for her mother, which can be connected with the plot that Maud knows that her mother is her biological mother in the future to increase the tension of the plot, So I can really experience everything Sue needs to consider. "


    "But if you add this plot, one of the key settings in the novel will lose its effect. Sue is set to be illiterate. That''s why we don''t find that the books collected by Maud and his uncle are all filthy forbidden books."

    Harvey brought the manuscript of the second volume of dark age to Planck''s publishing house. This is not the first time Harvey came here, but Planck''s publishing house had not been acquired by Cromwell chamber of Commerce when he came here last time.


    It can be seen that Cromwell chamber of Commerce has also made great efforts. The whole four story building has been bought. The name of the publishing house is hanging at the front door. Staff constantly rush in and out. As soon as Harvey enters, the front desk women in professional clothes show a bright smile at him.


    "Hello, I''d like to speak to Mr. Pran Garcia."


    The woman at the front desk was stunned, bowed politely and asked, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"


    Harvey, too, was stunned. He laughed and shook his head. It''s because he didn''t appear in the media. There is a big difference between Harvey and the phantom of count of Monte Cristo. So far, many people don''t know what Harvey really looks like.


    Although the receptionist didn''t recognize Harvey, another receptionist, who was in charge of reception, came and pulled her sleeve in a hurry and said a few words in her ear.


    The receptionist''s expression experienced a short period of stiffness, and he quickly apologized and bowed, "Mr. Adrian, I''m sorry I didn''t recognize you. Mr. Garcia is in the office on the fourth floor. I''ll show you now."


    "Thank you. No, I should be able to find it myself." Harvey smiles politely and goes to the side of the hall to find an old elevator. The elevator is surrounded by iron bars, which is a bit similar to the simple elevator used in construction sites. The floor and handrails are carved with delicate and complex patterns, which will not give people a sense of rudeness.


    After finding Pran''s office, Harvey hands him the manuscript of Volume II of the dark age. Pran is also vivid now. His black suit is a customized suit of Cromwell chamber of Commerce, and his hair is neatly combed. Maybe because of his age, he looks like the aristocracy of the new era.


    When he saw the manuscript of Volume 2 of dark age handed over by Harvey, he looked stunned. He picked it up and then read it. He complained in surprise: "Harvey, I thought you were concentrating on making the phantom of ice and snow. Well, I have to admit that the phantom did a good job."


    Harvey said with a smile, "it doesn''t take much to write a novel. How about your side?"


    "As you can see, newspapers, magazines and publishing are developing very well. By the way, count Henrietta of Norton has promised to sell us an affiliated publishing house, but the scale is not large. The second volume of dark age is just right. It can help me open the market of Norton and win a lot of popularity. "


    "That''s good. I''ll go back first. Call me whenever there''s any problem with the novel."


    "I''m not going to stay. I''ve been waiting for volume two of the dark ages for months. If I''m not satisfied with it, I''m sure I''ll come to my door for the first time." Pranyang raised the manuscript of the novel in his hand and gave a knowing smile. He was one of Harvey''s fans. He was not old enough, and his taste for the novel was innovative. He especially liked the dark age. He had read the outline of the novel, so he was more looking forward to the next content.


    The first volume of the dark age can only be said to be exquisite and interesting, and it is only from the second volume that it really depicts a grand heroic epic. He looks forward to the plot in the outline shown in Harvey''s works.


    Harvey left the office with a meaningful smile. He would come here again in a few days without Prynne''s visit, but not as Harvey Adrian at that time.


    "The city of thorns" does not need those exquisite and complicated illustrations. After writing, you can submit directly.
