Mrs. Mooney treats her daughter's affair with the man is not only a daughter falling in love story or simple relationship, but a tactical game.

The existence of Mangan's sister in the narrator's life brings a feeling of freshness to his flat and normal life.

Speak the word 'paralysis' to himself seems like a way that the boy used to facing the death of his father. Maybe it is an expression of his feeling of missing his father?

The children is kind of disrespect for their father.

The fat man has an extreme confidence on himself and showed off himself to the little girl who danced for the first time, which makes me indispose towards him.

Isabel is not considering about the feeling of William at all. William comes to visit her and children, but Isabel sent children out. She always stayed with her friends and ignoring William, which reflects the relationship of them in this marriage. William seems more regard family and lover more important while Isabel likes enjoying with her friends. They have different demand in this marriage, and this may lead to a argument between them.

William's questioning has provoked extreme reactions of Isabel. She has used so many degree adverbs like 'dreadfully', 'frightfully' and 'awfully' to insist on her didn't change as William thought.

The reaction that the two daughters facing with the death of their father is unusual. They feel frightened and at a loss instead of sorrowful which let readers curious about the relationship between the daughter and fathers.

The word 'terror' and 'terrified' occur so much when describing the daughters. It seems that they are afraid of their father, even when he has dead.

We can see the difference between a little girl with great inborn sympathy towards poor people and the well-educated adult with almost no sympathy towards them. Such a huge difference that encourages personal reflection.

Jose seems like a hard-hearted person with too much empathy...

Laura is a girl with great curiosity, imagination and strict attention to detail. She regard the winds and the sun as persons who were playing chase. It is a childlike description.

The description of the environment including the weather and the scenery in the garden seems like a opening in a fairy tale.

Habit is a motif in the moonstone because every character has his/her unique habit, and Franklin enjoys drinking brandy very much reflects this motif.

Rosanna's strange behavior when she was alive, and her mysterious death, even the superpower-like scene around the Beacon all makes Rosanna a figure of great mystery.

Of course.. Betteredge always shows up with his mental pabulum ROBINSON CRUSOE, which is the classical scene in this novel.

Many of the descriptions indicates that the Indian is of great politeness, intelligence and high status.

Did Mr Bruff want to use these words to enhance his credibility or he really know the truth about the diamond??

Mr. Bruff shows a strong preference and sympathy towards Miss Rachel. In his description, Rachel is more like a pity girl with great loneliness and love which is completely different from the description of Betteredge.

Rachel totally shocked when hearing the news. From the reaction of Rachel, I think she trust the love of Godfrey completely. This reaction makes me feel like Rachel is kind of an innocent person?

Miss Rachel described this marriage as despairing. It seems like Miss Rachel has a big secret in her mind which torture herself really well. From the previous story, we can see that this secret almost drive her crazy. The torture even make her to marry a person that she really don't love at all. I am really curious about what this secret is!

For me, it seems like Clack shows nearly no interest in the story of the Yellowstone, and all her mind is about doing missionary work. Every time when someone has some problem, she just wanted them to read her precious books but not tried to help others deal with the problem radically.

It seems like many thoughts and beliefs of Clack is based on her strong Christian belief. She even described the reason that Godfrey survived from a terrible kidnapping is that he has a devout confidence which is relevant to religion belief.

Clack seems like has a strong preference and love towards Mr. Godfrey because Godfrey's has a strong passion about charity. Obviously, Clack doesn't believe Godfrey will do something bad. Therefore, though she said all she can do is to state the facts, I still think what she said below might be unreliable.

Before the Indian being killed, the authors construct a harmonious but unusual atmosphere. Though the jests and catchwords are fulfilled among the people, there is still a weird feeling occurs in my mind which tells me something will happens.
