He is just glad that they are in his captivity. Frederic collects butterflies but he doesn’t appreciate their beauty. Like Frederic, this consumer always wants new things. I found it curious that many saw that John Fowles was showing a typical middle-class consumer. When I read some reviews, I saw that people actually drew some interesting conclusions about which problems the author was hinting at in the society with Frederic.
He is a butterfly collector, and this time, his new butterfly in the collection will be Miranda.
I liked her character, and she definitely didn’t deserve anything that was happening to her. She is a pretty emotional person, and, of course, she loathes the way society puts people in classes. Miranda is an upper-middle-class art college student who was born into a rich family. They definitely aren’t your typical kidnapper and “kidnappee”, so to say. What made the book stand out to me and many other people were the kinds of people both Miranda and Frederic are. It is a deeply unsettling account of a mad man, Frederic, the collector of beautiful butterflies, and a woman, Miranda, that he takes prisoner. The Collector is the creepiest book I have ever read.
