[The Australian Panther]

[I took an immense dislike to the lead characters in this story. They're basically a bunch of privileged jerks interested only in their personal leisure and their money. The law is a minor inconvenience and avenging spoken insults is worth more than a human life. The One Percenters of their day. ] Well, many of the rich and privileged still behave like that today. If you feel that way, if the story has an emotional effect on you, the writer has been successful, because that is obviously his point. Hardcastle is the man who realizes his folly and grows up matures and becomes a man. Barrymore represents corruption.
Personally what disappoints me is the demonizing of Gypsies, which, in countries where you find them still occurs today.
If a story makes you emotionally involved with it, the writer has been successful.
