My dissertation is "The French Lieutenant's Woman". Fowles' language is so beautiful that it can definitely be compared with any good English novel. Fowles has created such a unique image of a woman for us. I even Like the author, I often see a woman in a black robe standing on the seashore in a trance, half-dreaming and half-awake, suddenly turning around and throwing a glance at you of hesitation and temptation, pale face, gray clouds, white splashing spray, blue. Colored eyes, your soul will tremble in an instant, Meryl Streep's performance is just like the lightning that drills into the soul, which is unforgettable. The film can be said to have reached 80% of the level of the original novel, which is rare.

The French Lieutenant's Woman quotes
-
Mrs. Poulteney: You speak French, I believe?
Sarah: I do, ma'am.
Mrs. Poulteney: I do not like the French.

Mrs. Poulteney: Mr Forsythe informs me that you - retain an attachment to a - foreign person. I have heard from the most impeccable witnesses that you're always to be seen at the same place when you're out. You stand on the Cobb and look to sea. I have been encouraged to believe that you're in a state of repentance; but, I must emphasize that such staring out to sea is provocative, intolerable, and sinful.
Sarah: If you consider me unsuitable for this position, Mrs. Poulteney, do you wish me to leave the house?
Mrs. Poulteney: I wish you to show - that this person - is expunged from your heart!
Sarah: How am I to show it?
Mrs. Poulteney: By not exhibiting your shame!
