Monster : The Lizzie Borden Story: The True Story of Lizzie Borden, the 1892 Family Murders, Her Sensational Trial, and America's Enduring Mystery
Overview
Book Description
More than a century after Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered inside their Fall River home, the name Lizzie Borden still raises the same question: Did she really do it?
This book explores the true story behind one of America's most famous unsolved murder cases while also examining the dramatic interpretation presented in Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.
Discover Lizzie's life before the murders, the tensions inside the Borden household, the events of August 4, 1892, the evidence that placed her under suspicion, and the sensational trial that ended with her acquittal.
The book also looks closely at the series' portrayal of Lizzie, including Ella Beatty's performance, the fictionalized relationship between Lizzie and Maggie, the themes of repression, anger, love, and revenge, and the major differences between historical fact and screen interpretation.
Was Lizzie a misunderstood woman trapped by Victorian expectations, a clever suspect who escaped conviction, or simply the victim of a mystery that was never solved?
Step inside the Borden story, separate fact from dramatization, and decide for yourself what may really have happened.
