My journal after reading 《Washington Square》

It's a miserable story about a girl named Catherine Sloper. This story seems to tell us if a handsome man meant to court a dull girl with a lot of fortune, it must exactlly be chase for her property but herself.

Then Mr. Morris should be this handsome man who amused Catherine so much that she fell in love with him deeply. However, unfortunately, Catherine had got a intelligent father Dr. Sloper who immediately was conscious of Morris' real attempt and knew about his selfish and lazy character. Then, of course, Dr. Sloper went against their marriage, and said if they got married without his consent, he'll leave nothing even a penny to his daughter.

The fact proved Dr. Sloper's thought, Morris left Catherine soon and Catherine'd been led a lonely and miserable life afterwards.

I think foolish is much worse than poor to people, that is this story tell me.

Keep in mind: there's no free lunch in the world, to get something what you deserve.
