This essay is a suicide note left by Eva smith/Daisy Renton.
To any one who still cares?
This is a note to explain to you why I have done this. I want to be with my family, the only people who actually care. I was brought up in a kind and caring environment far away from the city, evil murders and drunks.
By the time you are reading this I will no longer be here, I will be in a better place with the rest of my family. If you didn't already know I was pregnant then you do now. I just didn't want my child to be let into a world of such evil, it just wouldn't have been right. I am only protecting my baby from this evil world, I did not set out to murder it I just wanted to be able to look after and nurture for it in the best place in the world.
I used to work at Birling's LTD but when I asked for a raise from 22.6 to 25 shillings, Mr Birling the owner of the factory fired me.
I was then offered a job at Milwards. It was the best job I had ever had. I enjoyed it so much, I was able to look at all the expensive clothes, and imagine I was wearing them at a fancy ball or party. I can even remember that one day a lovely young woman came in and wanted my help to find the perfect dress for her wedding. That was the last time that I worked in Milwards. I was fired again but this time there was no reason. To be totally honest I hadn't been fired I might still of been alive today. So if you want to blame someone on me killing myself blame the owner of Milwards after all she is the one that fired me for no reason at all.
After Milwards I didn't no where to go I looked around for a job for about 3 weeks until I final gave up. I knew I had to support myself in some way so I started to wait outside the Palace Bar every night hoping to get a job and a fair amount of money for it. I can remember standing on the corner for a few nights nervous, and jittery I wasn't sure what to expect. I would just sit on the ground and hope that a nice guy would come up to me and offer me a job but I knew it wasn't going to work that way I would have to
