The ragmans daughter

For this task, I have chosen the short story ‘The Ragmans Daughter’ written by Alan Sillitoe. The story is about a wealthy girl named Doris, and a thief named Tony (whom was in love with Doris) who both robbed together. Doris only does this for the thrill of doing something rebellious. One evening, while robbing a shop, Doris turned on the light to try on a pair of shoes she liked, not thinking about Tony who was dipping his fingers into the cash register. A policeman noticed lights on and went to investigate. Tony saw the policeman and attracted the policeman away from Doris by running away, losing a shoe to th

Tony looks back, later in his life, at how he has been affected by what had happened. He has now settled down and has a family and a job. But he is still rebellious, and still steals money, but only for the sake of extra income. He is now more careful than when stealing.

This story could have been a love story between Tony and Doris, much like Romeo and Juliet, they are on different sides of the tracks. Tony, who is poor, falls in love with the wealthy Doris. Tony never goes to Doris’s house, we don’t know if it’s because he is not welcome, or has never been invited.
