"Madame Monnier's family imprisoned a woman who had lived a very miserable life and had been imprisoned for 25 years."
The note was crumpled, the French text was crooked, and when the Attorney General of the French city of Poppier received the anonymous letter, he thought it was a prank by some idle person, or a malicious slander by a person with a deep heart.
The note refers to the prestige of the Monnier family, and Madame Monnier is not only a high-class person, but also a good person who is enthusiastic about public welfare, so it is not convincing enough, but the content exposed in the letter is shocking.
This prosecutor did not dare to be sloppy, and had to re-examine and deliberate again, and the prosecutor general decided to investigate the matter carefully!
As the investigation progressed, the officers gradually checked the core of the incident, and in this way, the anonymous letter kicked off the incredible "Monnier" incident.
The "human animal" described in the letter is a girl named Blanche, who was imprisoned in the attic by her own mother, Madame Monnier, with huge and heavy iron chains, and was not seen for 25 years!
Every day, he was hungry for the leftovers delivered by the servants, and slept on small wooden planks that had been torn up. Blanche was skinny, her hair disheveled, her clothes uncovered, and her room was littered with her more than two decades of excrement and remnants of garbage.
You see her, the muscles of her whole body have completely atrophied, the lice on her head are crawling all over her hair, and when she hears the movement, the whole person hides in panic in the corner of the room, and can no longer say a word completely except helpless wailing and trembling.
The scene in front of people makes it hard to believe that she is the first beautiful woman of the French aristocracy who used to have a beautiful face and fall into the country?
What is the reason why a mother can be ruthless and ruthlessly imprisoned for her own daughter? This starts with Blanche's family situation and love experience.
Born with a golden spoon, loved by thousands
At the beginning of the last century, Blanche was born into the Monnier family, a hereditary aristocrat in the French city of Poitiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was born with a golden spoon.
His father was the head of a prestigious art academy, and his mother was a well-known philanthropist at the time, and the prestige of the family was well known in Poitiers.
If there is a father, there must be a daughter, and Blanche is also clever and clever, well-behaved and lovely; from an early age, her father liked her very much and loved her incomparably.
Contained in the mouth is afraid of melting, holding in the hand afraid of falling, so it is not too much to describe the father's love for her, after all, such a delicate and lovely daughter, which father does not regard it as a treasure?
Blanche was educated by noble ladies from an early age, behaved elegantly and decently, and her appearance and figure were bright and moving, and even her personality was more outstanding and bold than ordinary aristocratic girls.
It may be that She was jealous, Blanche's father died suddenly and tragically when she was 10 years old, and her fate began to change dramatically with the death of her father.
My father died, and my mother had high hopes
After his father's death, Blanche lived with his mother. It may be that the life of a single mother is not good, she often chafed at her husband's abandonment and is too irresponsible, and now everything in the family is counting on herself to do something, how can we ensure that the family inheritance will never decay?
So the mother who took over the power of the family pinned all her hopes on Blanche's body, after all, the girl was well trained, and she did not worry about finding the golden turtle son-in-law, and then the family foundation could also be carried forward, so very good!
While the other girls went out to play, Blanche was forced by her mother to study and didn't even allow her to make friends who liked to be entertaining. The content of daily learning is basically a variety of aristocratic etiquette and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, watching her daughter grow up day by day, and the signs are beautiful, and the mother is very happy.
Although Blanche's playful heart did not relent, in order not to disappoint her mother, she tried her best to cooperate with her mother to learn things that she did not like at all.
Growing up, Blanche, not only talented, but also elegant and charming, full of books, she also gradually formed her own values, especially in adolescence, she longs for the vigorous love in the book to come.
But the mother has always been arbitrary, not to talk about love, even eating and drinking Lasa to control, which makes Blanche very sad, and even has a sense of resistance.
In order to maintain the prestige of the family, Blanche was taken by his mother to appear frequently at various parties. Because of his generous demeanor and dignified and sweet appearance, he has been appreciated by many people.
Behind the glamour, however, is Blanche's anxiety--- mother's desire to marry her to a member of high society as a way to maintain the family's status.
Blanche, on the other hand, was obsessed with finding a Prince Charming to take her away, wandering the world and strolling through the time ferry hand in hand.
Love comes, and lovers eventually become dependents
On one outing, Blanche met the son of a bankrupt businessman; he was very handsome and engaged in the profession of lawyer. At the beginning of their meeting, the two had a deep affection for each other; with the gradual contact, the two soon fell in love.
But the lawyer was poorly paid and much older than Blanche. Even so, it was impossible to stop the two people who were full of sincerity.
Love is always addictive, and with the continuous contact between the two, it is getting closer and closer to the East Window incident. After a date, the mother sensed the clue, and after learning the situation, the mother was furious and angrily demanded that Blanche leave him.
After all, this poor sour lawyer does not have any conditions that meet the mother's standards for a good son-in-law, and the basic living security cannot be given, let alone consolidate the family's prestige.
The mother's vigorous opposition not only did not block the feelings of the two, but made them more and more frustrated and courageous, and they loved each other even more. So the two put the love affair in their hearts and went underground.
After another secret date, Blanche returns home to find her mother already sitting in the living room waiting for her to return, as if the tempo of the storm is coming.
The mother has an emotional breakdown, yells at Blanche, and demands that Blanche must leave the poor lawyer as soon as possible, and even more excessively, the mother asks Blanche to take off her clothes, and she wants to examine her body naked!!
Her mother warned Blanche that everything Blanche had was given to the Monnier family, and she should also give back to this family and contribute her due strength to this family.
From a young age, Blanche, who is proud of herself, thinks that this is a great shame and humiliation to herself, and even more unfortunately, she thinks that she has not done anything wrong, and the brave pursuit of her love is itself her dream.
Nevertheless, Blanche also knew with emotion that she had long wanted to pursue love to her mother, and she tried to persuade her mother to agree with her ideas, but her mother did not think so.
The mother believes that as long as it is good for the daughter, everything is not wrong, the daughter is just blinded by love for a while, she believes that this reflection will let the daughter know which is more important.
As everyone knows, it is also this reflection that makes the mother and daughter duo more distant.
Eloped for love and was ruthlessly imprisoned
Later, Madame Monnier became moody and became increasingly uncontrollable in her grip on Blanche. Blanche's every move was under the watchful eye of his mother, which made Blanche feel more frightened than ever, and he wanted to escape his mother's control as soon as possible.
Finally, the idea of eloping sprang up in Blanche's heart, in order to plan her own escape, she rehearsed repeatedly in her heart, begging the servant to help her pass the news, the servant who took care of Blanche from childhood could not bear to see the young lady suffer like this, and kindly helped her pass the message to the lawyer boyfriend.
After the lawyer's boyfriend received the message, he quickly prepared everything, so Blanche successfully escaped from his home and made a lifelong relationship with the lawyer's lover.
However, the elaborate escape plan was discovered by Madame Monnier, who forcibly brought Blanche back to the manor.
People's behavior under the fury often makes people lose all their cultivation. Madame Monnier's long-standing reluctance, grievances, and anger poured down.
The yelling and insults could no longer vent Madame Monnier's anger, and she could only allow her hands to beat Blanche uncontrollably, so as to comfort her heart a little.
On this day, Monnier Manor, black clouds pressed the city, Mrs. Monnier's whipping and insulting sound, the whole manor seemed particularly harsh, Blanche from the initial resistance, to the end was beaten to death, but she still refused to give in.
She wanted to use her stubbornness to tell her mother that I would not sacrifice my love, that I would not yield, that I would not become a victim of the family's consolidation of prestige, and that I would not be a puppet of my mother to play with the powerful!!!
But Blanche did not know that the more she fought back, the more the anger in her heart was infinitely magnified. Madame Monnier was even mad to the point of horror, she felt that her daughter would leave her at any time, and she had the idea of imprisoning her forever!
One dark and windy evening, after Madame Monier's ruthless violence, she dragged the dying Blanche to the attic, tied her firmly with a huge iron chain, and imprisoned Blanche in this dark attic!
Looking at her daughter's helpless eyes, Madame Monnier felt a little relieved for the first time, perhaps to see that her daughter finally could not escape her control, or to feel that her long-term repression had been released!
Then Madame Monnier closed all the exits and blocked all the sunlight with a thick cloth, not even the lights, leaving Blanche in the dark room to reflect.
Each time of indomitability, in exchange for not the mother's sympathy, but the mother's twisted flesh and skin pain of the "care".
As the months passed, Blanche still stubbornly refused to let go; the mother, Madame Monnier, never again intended to release her, but closed the door of the attic permanently, announcing that the whole manor had been declared that the daughter had fled.
Mental disorder, eventually reduced to "human and animal"
Although Blanche was permanently imprisoned by her mother, she often asked for help in the attic, hoping that her sweetheart would hear, redeem herself, and escape from this hell on earth forever.
Let her shout with all her might, but in exchange for the silence that no one will ever respond to....
Unable to wait for his beloved, Blanche was also disheartened, and under the double blow of his mother's temperament and the breakdown of love, Blanche's last stubbornness also completely collapsed.
She began to become emotionally unstable, and the name of the poor boy who wanted to share the whitehead was still in her mouth.
Outside the attic, the lawyer's boyfriend searched for Blanche fruitlessly, so he went to Mrs. Monier to beg, but the treacherous Mrs. Monnier filed a complaint and sued the court for "suspected abduction and trafficking of aristocratic girls".
The depressed lawyer boyfriend, clinging to the thoughts of Blanche, eventually died of illness.
Blanche's young boy lang went like this, but he didn't know that the bright-eyed Blanche of the past also went with him, and all he was locked in the attic was an empty leather bag.
It was not until 25 years later, with the tireless efforts of the local police, that Blanche, who was imprisoned in the attic, was discovered, and this amazing event was made public.
The rescued Blanche has long since lost her human form, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as "human and animal".
No one knows what Blanche has experienced in these 25 years, but the only thing that knows is that these 25 years of purgatory have tormented her beyond recognition, and her whole body weighs only 46 pounds!
Human beings' basic skills have been completely lost, they cannot communicate with people, and even psychiatrists have no choice but to be placed in psychiatric hospitals by medical staff. Until his tragic death 12 years later.
Blanche's life is indignant, how much paranoia can make a mother imprison her daughter so crazy.
What we can't guess most is who delivered the note to the prosecutor? Why would he want to unravel this secret? These mysteries may also become unsolved mysteries over time!
