“Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.”
― Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White
Wilkie Collins wrote this in 1859, and it caused something close to a sensation. He let multiple characters tell the story. Diary entries, letters, testimonies — you get the same events through different eyes, and every narrator has something they're not quite seeing clearly. It keeps you slightly off balance in a way that feels completely intentional, because it is.
