초록
The original manuscript of Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams ends with a disastrous and demented state of Caleb Williams after the final courtroom scene. The original ending, which appears to be natural and credible considering Caleb’s passive flight under the eye of tyrannical omniscience of Falkland, underwent a dramatic reversal just before its publication. In the reversed ending Falkland acknowledges Caleb’s innocence and confesses his crime, which leads to a reconciliation, mutual understanding and sympathy. Is the new reversed ending also credible and effective? Does the new ending not seem to be ‘things as they ought to be,’ rather than ‘things as they are’? This paper examines the striking contrast between the original ending and the radically revised ending. And the paper attempts to explicate the credibility and meaning of the published ending in the context of a new possibility of the society, where intolerable oppression would be extirpated and the qualities of each individual might be made beneficial in the great theatre of human affairs.
Abstract
The original manuscript of Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams ends with a disastrous and demented state of Caleb Williams after the final courtroom scene. The original ending, which appears to be natural and credible considering Caleb’s passive flight under the eye of tyrannical omniscience of Falkland, underwent a dramatic reversal just before its publication. In the reversed ending Falkland acknowledges Caleb’s innocence and confesses his crime, which leads to a reconciliation, mutual understanding and sympathy. Is the new reversed ending also credible and effective? Does the new ending not seem to be ‘things as they ought to be,’ rather than ‘things as they are’? This paper examines the striking contrast between the original ending and the radically revised ending. And the paper attempts to explicate the credibility and meaning of the published ending in the context of a new possibility of the society, where intolerable oppression would be extirpated and the qualities of each individual might be made beneficial in the great theatre of human affairs.
