(1965)The 22-years old Frederick Clegg lives with his uncle Dick and aunt Annie and his cousin Mabel, because his father is dead and his mother doesn’t care about him. Frederick collects butterflies wich he catches himself, the only one who cares about his collection is his uncle Dick. When he passes away Frederick is left alone with is aunt and cousin . One day Frederick wins a lottery, and receives 73000 pond. When his ant and cousin move to Australia, he decides to stay because his relationship with them is not that good.
He sees a girl one day and he immediately feels attracted to her. She is a student at the University of art in London. He’s totally crazy about her, he dreams about her day and night but he knows he can’t get her on a normal way. In his dreams he kidnaps her and takes her to his house and they will be happy ever after. But he doesn’t want it to be just a dream. He is planning to kidnap her just like he was dreaming of. He buys a house in a very small village called Sussex. The nearest house is three quarters of a mile away from them. The house has a basement or cellar witch is quite big. He doesn’t want to harm her or be rude to her. So he decorates the basement into a room where she will be able to live by building a sink with water, electricity etcetera. He buys clothes, a lot of books, a hairbrush, toothbrush and so on. Tough he doesn’t want to harm her he reinforces the door with a steel plate inside and ten-inch bolts because he doesn’t want her to escape.
On the day of the kidnap he follows her to an alley and he grabs her with a plastic back and anaesthetic. When she is kidnapped en taken into the basement she is not afraid, he can see that in her eyes (at least that’s what he thinks). She is very anxious she wants to now everything about why he did this to her. And Frederick makes up a story. He tells her that he is doing this in mandate of the boss of her and that she will be free in four weeks. But she doesn’t believe him because it makes no sense. And he admits that that’s not the reason of all this, the real reason is that he loves her. But that love is not mutual. The communication is very bad, they have totally different personalities. Miranda tries to understand him.
She thinks he wants to rape or even murder her. But he lets her know that it’s not that what he wants.
Miranda realizes that she’s kidnapped by a sick mind. Someone who collects butterflies and adds her to his collection. Frederick takes pictures of her and buys anything she wants, but he doesn’t let her go. During her captivity she tries to escape seven times but with no success. She tries to push him over and run away but the outer door is locked. The second time she tries to escape while she’s taking a bath. Next she tries to dig a tunnel but it’s of no use. She pretends to be ill , tries to kill him with a small axe she’s found and finally she tries to seduce him but that last thing really pissed him of.
He doesn’t treat her with the same respect as he used to do anymore. He ties her up and takes pornographic pictures of her.
The four weeks he promised are passed and she’s is there four two months now. He never lets her go.
In the diary of Miranda she writes about Frederick that she is disgust by him and she calls him a cannibal. But on the other side she feels sorry for him and wants to help him. She writes too that she is in love with G.P. and wants to marry him when she is released. Then she gets ill and she is not pretending this time, she thinks she has pneumonia. The writings in her diary become shorter every day until the point that she’s so ill that she’ not able to write anymore.
Eventually she dies. Frederick had promised that he would get a doctor to give her a thorough check-up but he didn’t. He did carry her up when she asked if she could see some daylight before she dies. Just before her death she tells him that she forgives him.
When she’s dead he is desperate, he is hopeless he doesn’t know what to do. He decides to commit suicide, he can’t live without her.
The next day comes and he is about to commit suicide that day. He finds the diary of Miranda and finds out that she didn’t love him, she even discussed him. He doesn’t commit suicide because it’s not worth it because she didn’t love him. He buries Miranda’s body.
The other day he’s walking in a village and he sees this girl that has a resemblance with Miranda. A girl named Marian. Another M…
