Bonnie Parker Research Paper

Bonnie Parker is my favourite romantic heroine. The reason Bonnie is my favourite heroine is because of how deep and seemingly unbreakable relationship she and Clyde had. Bonnie would do anything for Clyde, she even went to jail when caught after one of their first bank robberies. There was something between them that has been reported over and over as ‘they were head over heels for each other”. Blanche Barrow (married to Buck Barrow; Clyde’s older brother) is quoted as saying “Bonnie once said to me she wishes she and Clyde were as free as me and Buck”.

Her husband was in prison when she met Clyde and she never divorced him because she didn’t think it was fair to divorce a man in prison, although the two never did seen each other
