The book follows the life of its main character, Moll Flanders, who is born in a Newgate prison and navigates a tumultuous existence filled with crime, love, and survival. Throughout her life, Moll's story highlights themes of social class and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society. At the start of the novel, Moll introduces herself albeit anonymously, revealing crucial elements of her past, including her birth in Newgate and her mother's criminal conviction. She reflects on her early life, marred by abandonment and hardship, describing how she ended up raised by a kind woman in Colchester. The opening sets the stage for Moll's character, hinting at her ambitious dreams of transcending her circumstances and her heartfelt desire to avoid a life of servitude. As the narrative unfolds, Moll's relentless pursuit of a better life becomes evident, foreshadowing her later choices and challenges in a society that offers few resources to women like her.
