Question

Set in English 1831

An inspector finds a prostitute unconscious nxt to an abandoned Inn. The prostitute gets amnesia, forgets her past, becomes as innocent as a child (is this possible?)She's forgotten how to read or write,but knows how to talk. So, basically, she symbolizes how humans were before they were affected by the ways of society. Anyways, the inspector hates her at first, because she is, after all, a prostitute, but later on comes to love her-of course, this happens towards the end of the story. Anyways, what should the mystery behind her having been lying unconscious of next to an abandoned inn be?Who tried to kill her?Why? And should I have the inspector find a diary of the prostitutes which tells of her life before she got amnesia,like, the story will change from the present to the past, narrated in first person by the prostitute (her diary)And also,should I have her memory return later?How should the story end?Turn her back into a prostitute,by the influence of society

Should she have a diary, and WHY???
And if she does have a diary, why had she gone into prostitution when she was able to read and write???

Answer 1

There's something called "fuge" in which a person experiences amnesia without an physical trauma; the memory loss is associated instead with severe psychological trauma. So, even if she has a head injury, I think that even more importantly, her condition should result from an act of extreme evil against her.

Her condition could also be self-induced- if you want to use her state as a prostitute as an embodiement of absolute evil, then she should be using drugs. Maybe she overdosed on heroin. Maybe she was careless with the drug because of some other immoral factor.

I like the ending where society turns her back into a prostitute (without her regaining her memories.) This, rather than a happy ending, is more likely to incite readers to clamor for a GOOD ending, and therefore to extend their feelings into real life. For example, if Johnny had had his request granted in "Johnny Got His Gun," I would have been satisfied, but due to the gut-twisting ending, I have unresolved rage against what was done to him, and I want to make sure that the unresolved cases in real life do not get buried like he did.

Answer 2

She was found unconscious next to an abandoned inn because she was working, her client being the minister/powerful figure head of a popular church in town. An attempt was made to take her life to protect his rep. She became a prostitute after dropping out of high school and moving into the big city with her older boyfriend who was an inspiring guitar player. He dumps shortly after and leaves her on the street, her pride too strong to go back to her parents and family.

Answer 4

I say something about a husband who thinks she's dead finding out she's a prostitute and coming to get her. And yes, I think she should have a diary. And I think the detective (representing the wishful thinking of people who give others too many chances) should read it to her, to help her remember and have her fall for him. Then.... I would make it so she remembers, and says "Oh yes, I wrote that!" And for him to come up to her and kiss her, and have her slap him.... yes, to show society's sharp edge. So he'd be heartbroken, and would set out to find the old husband. Does, gets him arrested, and then she is so grateful, she gets with him. Then, he discovers she is using him for his best friend/brother something like that. He is shocked, and the last scene should be him passing that bar, to see it's name was Fate's Bite. That would be hilarious! And the prostitute would obviously marry the friend, remain a prostitute, and show how society is corrupted in so many ways. The detective meets a decent women.... who he met a bar called The Real Thing or something. And you should call it "Fate's Bite" or "That Diary of Truth, From The Girl Full Of Lies" or something. Good idea!

Answer 5

she became a prostitute because she had a child to raise, the person caring for her child decided they want to keep it as their own, the husband bops her over the head intending to kill her. She kept the diary to let her child know what her life was like and that she did everything for him. At the end she falls in love with a cripple soldier and they get married, the child comes to live with her.

Answer 6

No diary! Tell the reason why she was there through a flashback. The flashback should be gradual since she lost her memory. She will eventualy get her memory back and then remember she was married. Then her husband confronts the inspector. They both love her etc...

Answer 7

Maybe the cause of her memory loss could brought on by her haunting childhood. Maybe she was raped by her father, as a child, and as she grew up it was the only kind of love she knew, so therefore she became a prostitute. Maybe one of her clients could had forcefully raped her, and the trauma caused by that, brought back the trauma of her childhood, therefore causing her to be somewhat in a catatonic state. (Not being able to write or read.) Maybe her father that raped her was a English professor, and demanded she learn how to properly say things, and read, and everytime she would mess up, he would rape her.
