While Moll does admit her actions during the fire are immoral, she doesn’t admit this until
after the fire, when she has had time to reflect on what she has done. Even then, she doesn’t repent or feel remorse. She knows stealing is wrong because society tells her it is wrong, but she doesn’t seem to innately appreciate this. Moll’s primary worry is getting caught, not behaving morally. Again, Moll is no longer stealing just to stay alive; she is stealing to get rich.
