Not Just a Fairy T
ale
--Sentiment after reading
Daddy-Long-Legs
Daddy-Long-Legs
, a best-known novel by the American
writer Jean Webster, was written in the form of epistles, altogether 82
letters from our protagonist
–

Jerusha “Judy” Abbott. All these
letters
were
written
to
her
benefactor
–

the
so-
called
“Daddy
-Long-
Legs”
whose true name was Jervie Plendleton. A monthly letter to report her
study
was
the
only
requirement
of
the
wealthy
asylum
trustee
“Daddy
-Long-
Legs”
to
finance
orphan
Judy’s
college
l
ife,
after
he
noticed Judy’s writing talent from her essay
-- Blue Wednesday.
Dedicated

Y
ou
the
first
person
narrative
novel
leads readers, myself included, to the illusion that we are actually the
receiver of Judy’s letters and the one she regarded
as family. When
reading the novel, we feel like the witnesses of Judy’s growing in the
college.
We
can’t
help
worrying
when
the
letters
told
us
her
ill
or
she’s in derision, delighting when she obtained a college scholarship,
upsetting when she
had to deny the
genuine
love of Jervie. Take
it
one step further; the reading process is like peeking at a girl’s diary,
inducing a subtle excitement inside readers. Meanwhile, we are able
to
puzzle
out,
more
or
less,
whom
Daddy-Long- Legs
is,
but
apparently
Judy
know
s
nothing
about
it.
It’s
a
quite
amusing
and
interesting
experience
to
watch
her
gradually
falling
into
the
well-
arranged
“love
trap”
set by
Jervie.
Ultimately,
Judy
wrote
her
last
letter
in
the
novel
but
the
first
love- letter
to
her
beloved
Daddy-Long- Legs
–

Jervie,
which
is
the
end
of
the
novel
but
a
beginning of Judy and Jervie’s new life, a promising one.

Admittedly,
it
is
the
romantic
and
pure
love
story
that
brings the novel a reputation of fairy tale for adults, but the theme is
not made up of love only. What the growing of Judy reflects is the
core of the book.
Brought
up
at
the
John
Grier
Home,
an
old-fashioned
orphanage, Judy encountered quite a few tribulations during college
years. Lack of good education resulted in her exposure of ignorance
in
the
class.
Judy
was
ridiculed
by
classmates
because
she
had
no
idea
about
who
Michelangelo
is
and
she
even
never
heard
of
Jane
Eyre.
Once
Judy
realized
her
inadequacy
of
literature
knowledge,
which
seemed
more
like
a
common
sense
to
college
students,
she
made up her mind to enlarge her readings rather than gloomily cry in
the
dorm.
In
the
following
letters,
we
can
see
Judy
growing
more
independently.
She
was
fed
up
with
“Jerusha”
--
a
name
randomly
picked
up
in
a
directory.
Therefore,
she
named
herself
“Judy”,
a
brand
new
and
Judy-fashioned
name.
Such
behavior
could
be
considered as her first step of independent consciousness. After that,
her trying
using scholarship to pay her college fee also proved that
