Response to A Harlot's Progress In Class

The discussion in class about A Harlot's Progress was interesting to me because, like many people I assume, I have seen the series before but have never linked it to the world of comics. It makes sense though. It is a sequential narrative about what happens when a young woman falls into the wrong hands at the wrong time. It is simply amazing how detailed each panel is and that because of all these elements it is easy to infer what has happened "between the gutters" so to speak. What I love about the series is that within those details there are several more stories just waiting to be told, like that of the lover or the clergyman.
