|  Moll Flanders represents the typical heroine of Daniel Defoe: she has been abandoned by her criminal mother and she is grown as an orphan. She is alone and she must survive by relying only on herself. For her infancy, Moll wanted to become a gentlewoman to be an economically independent woman, like aristocratic women, who had a revenue. It was very difficult because jobs were only for men, and the only one way to become rich for a woman was a marriage with a rich man. Moll Flanders represents a modern woman, who sees marriage as a contract. Defoe describes some sketches of city life, such as crowded markets, inns, boarding houses, police stations, prisons, courtrooms. There are also private houses, estates, goods and money,, that is very important for middle classes. “Moll Flanders” seems the life of Defoe, because it is more autobiographical than “Robinson Crusoe”.
