| Summary | "Proud Lady" by Neith Boyce is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the life of Mary Lavinia, who navigates complex family dynamics, societal expectations, and her own feelings about love and independence as she contemplates her engagement to Laurence Carlin, a soldier returning from war. As the characters interact against the backdrop of societal class distinctions and personal trials, the novel explores themes of love, duty, and self-discovery. The opening of the story introduces Mary, who is waiting for her mother to return from church while the train carrying returning soldiers approaches. Mary's mixed emotions are palpable as she reflects on her relationship with her mother and her father, who is occupied in his office. When Laurence, the returning soldier, arrives, their reunion is marked by joy and tension as Mary grapples with her feelings towards him. The scene also reveals familial opposition to their union, especially from her mother, highlighting the class divides and the personal struggles each character must confront. The narrative sets the stage for deeper conflicts regarding love, social expectations, and what it means to be true to oneself. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
