Easy to read. E-text prepared by Brendan Lane, Dave Morgan, and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "Miss Lulu Bett" by Zona Gale is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book primarily explores the life of Lulu Bett, who exists within a constraining family dynamic and takes on the role of caretaker for her relatives, leading to her forgoing personal ambitions and desires. The narrative presents the complexities of love, duty, and the search for identity within familial structures. The opening portion of "Miss Lulu Bett" introduces readers to the Deacon family at supper, establishing a routine filled with tension and underlying emotional struggles. Characters are introduced, including the family members and their interactions with Lulu, who serves as the family's unacknowledged laborer. The scene reveals the Deacons' mundane concerns contrasted with Lulu’s quiet resignation to her domestic role. Notably, the atmosphere is thick with unspoken dynamics, as the other characters' light banter belies their deeper conflicts, particularly concerning Lulu's status and contributions. This setup hints at her desire for a life beyond the confines of her family obligations and foreshadows the exploration of her aspirations and identity throughout the rest of the narrative.
