too abridged
Concepts
The voices are very well done but the Mysteries of Udolpho live by their convoluted plot and the always returning theme of someone getting superstitious about things they don't understand yet. This aspect is left behind in this too short version. The abridgement makes the occurrences seem random and unconnected.
