law and justice. The main focus of the writer's analysis of
this novel is on the restoration of a lost heir to his
identity and property by the main characters, Meg Merrilies
and Paulus Pleydell. The heir's rights have been seized
since his childhood by a bad lawyer, Gilbert Glossin. He
even tries to kill the heir in order to fulfil his ambition,
that is pursuing the heir's estate. However, through the
hands of Meg Merrilies and Paulus Pleydell, the lost heir
finally is able to get his rights back. The thesis writer is
curious to know why Meg Merrilies and Paulus Pleydell want
to achieve justice for the lost heir. The discussion of this
thesis begins with the description of Meg Merrilies' and
Paulus Pleydell's character traits, proceeds to the
motivation that lead them to decide to help the lost heir,
and ends with their efforts in achieving justice which shows
that they are really the champions of justice. Meg
Merrilies' sacrifice in restoring the heir's true identity
and Paulus Pleydell's ambition in solving the heir's
problems makes the thesis writer conclude that their good
character traits have the greatest influence in their
achievement of justice for the lost heir as the rightful
heir.
