Scarlet Pimpernel: A Literary Analysis

123 Words1 Pages
The most important conflict in the novel is Marguerite’s choice between saving Armand, her brother, or saving the Scarlet Pimpernel. This causes her to do many things in the novel that she would have never done before. For example, she sides with Chauvelin by spying on her friends and giving him clues to where the Scarlet Pimpernel is. This puts Sir Percy/Scarlet Pimpernel in danger from Chauvelin chasing him down and trying to kill him. These events make Marguerite realize her husband is the Scarlet Pimpernel and how much he has been hiding from her. She realizes he isn’t a stupid person, but one of the smartest and bravest in France. Marguerite knows deep down she has always seen more and loves him.
