There's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which is a great example. Tom Robinson is clearly a victim of racial prejudice. Also, 'Jane Eyre' can be considered in this context. Jane is a victim of abuse and neglect as a child, and the novel follows her journey as she tries to overcome these early experiences and find her place in the world.
A famous 'victim novel' is 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. Briony's false accusation makes Robbie a victim, and the novel delves into the consequences of this false accusation for all the characters involved. Also, 'The Kite Runner' has elements of victimhood, with Hassan being a victim of social inequality and violence in Afghanistan.
One example could be 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The character of Lolita can be seen as a victim in many ways. Another is 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker, where Celie is a victim of abuse and racism.
They are not extremely common. One example could be in a school setting. The bully, who might initially pick on someone out of their own insecurities or need for control, starts to see the victim's kindness and strength. As they interact more, the bully realizes their feelings are changing. Maybe they start to protect the victim from other bullies and gradually fall in love.
There are quite a few well - known 'outsider novels'. 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck can be considered one. Lennie and George are outsiders in a way, constantly on the move and not really fitting into the society of ranch workers. Also, 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison. The unnamed narrator is an African - American man in a society that often makes him feel invisible and like an outsider due to racial discrimination.
One example could be 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. In this novel, there are certain elements that seem to be left 'blank' in a sense, like the open - ended nature of some of the mysteries. Another could be James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' which has a complex and often ambiguous structure that can be seen as having 'blank' spaces in terms of straightforward narrative understanding. Also, Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' has moments where the narrative seems to skip or leave things unsaid, creating a kind of 'blank' in the story.
One famous 'capital novel' could be 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. It is set in London, which is a major capital city. The story follows Pip's journey from a young boy with humble beginnings to a gentleman, exploring themes of class, love, and ambition.
One example could be 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hester Prynne is shunned due to her association with the act of adultery. Even though she is the one who committed the act, the whole town's attitude towards her is a form of 'guilt by association' as her child is also affected. Another could be 'To Kill a Mockingbird' where Tom Robinson is considered guilty in the eyes of some just because he is a black man in a racially charged environment, and his association with the white family he worked for is also misconstrued.
Another example is in 'Les Misérables' by Victor Hugo. The character of Éponine sings 'On My Own', which is a very poignant moment in the novel. Her song expresses her unrequited love for Marius, and it also shows her loneliness and the hopelessness of her situation. This song becomes a symbol of her character's tragic fate.
One of the well - known 'black death novel' is 'The Decameron' by Giovanni Boccaccio. It was written during the time of the Black Death and tells the stories of ten young people who flee the plague - ridden city and tell stories to pass the time.
One famous 'death sentence novel' could be 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. In this novel, there are elements related to the idea of a death sentence as the protagonist, Edmond Dantès, is wrongly condemned to life imprisonment which is like a death sentence in a way. He endures great hardships and then plots his revenge against those who wronged him.
Well, '1984' by George Orwell can be considered in a sense a 'world end novel'. It shows a world where individuality and freedom are being crushed, leading to a kind of spiritual and intellectual end of the world. Also, 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley presents a future where society is so highly controlled and engineered that the essence of true humanity is lost, which is like a form of world ending. Then there's 'Fahrenheit 451' where books are burned and knowledge is suppressed, which is also a step towards the end of the world as we know it.
There is also 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. While not directly focused on the age of consent, it does deal with issues of protecting the vulnerable, which is related. Scout's youth and the way she is treated in the context of the adult world in Maycomb can be seen as touching on the idea of when a person is considered ready to make certain decisions about their own life.
