About the adaptation and source
We have preserved the main plot and characters. Some information from the conclusion has been moved to earlier files so that you can reconstruct the plot independently. These changes are marked in the documents. The main solution has been preserved. The story includes stalking, kidnapping, an attempted forced marriage, and violence, without graphic descriptions. The dialogue is not quoted or excerpted from a modern translation. The English original at Project Gutenberg contains the solution.
