English 2610

Although Moll's reaction to her son was heartwarming, and it was nice to see her change in her attitude towards her children, I couldn't help but wonder if her attitude had something to do with the fact that her son had a lot of money. It almost seems that people don't really exist as people to Moll unless they have money, consider how much value she places on her friendship with the Captain of the ship. I think that Moll sincerely wanted to repent after her experience in prison, but characteristics that have been a lifetime in the making don't go away in a flash.
