It contains significant elements of both types of writing‚ so I feel it is best to recognize both‚ keeping in mind that melodrama is its main device and mystery is a type

Second of all‚ she hated the lady that her lover would have married with a burning passion‚ and lastly when it explains her thoughts about seeing the
