The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Part three

The author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is very interesting author to me. I began to notice that Larsson seems to go into detail about very simple things and also have a lot of little side stories. For example at the beginning of the novel when you first meet the one of the protagonist Blomkvist it starts out with his trial and then moves on to how he got there in the first place with when he first received the information he got in trouble for then the author goes into detail with that. After that he goes into detail about Blomkvist and where he works and that’s when you finally meet our second protagonist Lisbeth Salander, which is in fact the girl with the dragon tattoo. In my opinion this author jumps around a little bit at the beginning of this book. In this novel there is also a bit of a plot twist. As you’re reading this book you come to find out that Blomkist and Salander’s so called “murder victim” is not dead at all. In fact she’s quit alive and she is actually hiding. Once Blomkist figures this out her contacts her and finds out her side to the story. Also another kind of plot twist in the novel is when Blomkvist meets up with Martin Vanger at his house and Vanger lures him into the basement and attempts to kill him. We find out that Martin and his father where in the fact the serial killers that Blomkvist and Salander have been looking for this whole time. Martin’s dad Gottfried was the one who molested and abused both his children and inducted Martin into this type of practice also. This is also at the climax of the novel, and Salander comes to the rescue and saves Blomvist just in time for them to escape. Martin ends up trying to fall them in rage of what happened but ends up dying in a car accident. These two plot elements are important to the overall theme of this novel because to me the theme is violence against women in Sweden at the time. Martin and Gottfried are the best example of this theme because of how the treated women who they apparently loved and the victims that they killed also.
