[spoiler] Did anyone else not understand the end of Little Dorrit?
I had to go and read an explanation on a website designed for high school students, after reading the last 50 pages like 3 times. I get it now, what actually happened, but it still doesn’t make sense (I’m referring to the secret will specifically) and it felt like it was just written in haste to finish the story.
What I still don’t get though is what caused the house to blow up and kill Mr. Blondois/Rigeau. As far as I can tell, that was never explained. Is it to be assumed that Jeremiah Flintwitch did something to cause it to happen?
I did read that when it was published, Dickens had to write a kind of foot note explanation because it confused so many people, so I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad.
Did anyone else here have the same struggle?
