The real mystery of this story is how it ended. Nobody really knows as the author, Charles Dickens, passed away before completing this story. Since this story was never truly completed, there is something to be said about how readers interpret how it should have ended. Also, this story brings up the issue of race and how minority groups are treated by others. Sharon Alonofsky Welton of The Dickens Project, analyzes the race issue in this story, and writes, "Scholars such as Hyungji Park and Patrick Bratlinger have already examined race in this novel, and the Orientalism in this passage is clear. Neville is repeatedly portrayed as a stereotype: for example, in Chapter 8, he is hot-tempered with 'something of the tiger in his dark blood.' Yet, as we’ll see, Dickens creates his heroine in Helena; and in Neville, many adaptors have found the novel’s hero." To unpack, Weltman explains how stereotypes are depicted in Dickens' story, and there is much to be said about stereotypical caricatures even in today's literature and media. It is important to remember that we must be open minded and consult the right surces before stereotyping anyone.
