Baroness Orczy tells the tale of a mysterious hero determined to save as many people as possible from death during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. While most obviously a story about audacious courage and heroism, The Scarlet Pimpernel further explores themes of justice, forgiveness, respect, patriotism, and humility through its characters and their relationships with each other.
