Created a classic plot
Since the preface tells the reader the outline of the entire story, the entire novel has no freshness, and the final outcome can already be predicted, which is considered a spoiler. Due to translation and cultural reasons, the descriptions and dialogues in the book are always strange. The plot conflicts of the protagonist have also been used by many later writers and screenwriters, making the plot seem a bit cliché to readers. Moreover, the hero and heroine in the book are slightly incompetent. The hero and heroine are the bank clerk at first, and then Dr. Monette, and the jackal and the maid in the end. Instead, the hero and heroine are loved and loved by everyone. Moreover, the description in the book clearly accuses and criticizes those who participated in the French Revolution. It seems that these people caused chaos and violence.
