Defoe thus reveals from the novel's first lines that Moll, having been born in prison as the daughter of a convicted felon, will eventually continue in that tradition.

Nor was she old enough to appreciate the injustice, to see that it is the creators of the harami who are culpable, not the harami, who's only sin is being born.
