The Crimson Petal and the White: Difference between revisions

* [[Christianity Is Catholic]]: Agnes holds this view. Averted, however, with Henry Rackham, Mrs Fox and the Rescue Society.

* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: The BBC series is quite faithful to the spirit of the original while missing or summarising superflous events, and the only real differences are in the [[Two Lines, No Waiting|character arcs]] of Henry Rackham and Mrs Fox

* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Caroline

* [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]]: A major element of the plot.

* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|A significant difference from the novel is that while all the events are the same, the novel ends ambiguously with the sense that everything will end badly, while the TV series ends ambiguously with the possibility of things turning out well.}}

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Agnes. Lampshaded by the author when he points out this is part of what makes her the idealised High Victorian beauty.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: Agnes, several times.

* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: From Tennyson's poem 'Now sleeps the crimson petal'. The two main characters are a redhead, and a blonde always clad in white.
