Features: My dear Armand, I have received your letter. You still possess your kindness, and I thank God for it. Yes, my friend, I am ill, and it is an incurable illness; yet you still care so much for me, which has alleviated much of my suffering. I fear I do not have long to live, and I hope that I will have the blessing of shaking the hand of the person who wrote this letter. If there is anything in the world that can save me, then what is written in this letter can. I will never see you again, for I am already close to death, while we are still thousands of miles apart. The life of the protagonist, Marguerite, is one filled with humiliation and persecution. Although she is looked down upon in society, she possesses many noble qualities that most people do not have. When people see her wholehearted passion and loyalty to Armand, and see how she is willing to sacrifice herself for his family, quietly leaving the one she loves behind, a sense of sympathy and admiration fills them.
