Summary: "Agnes" by Minna Canth is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story explores the themes of idealized youth, social expectations, and the complexities of personal relationships, centering around the character of Agnes, who is depicted as a remarkable young woman admired by her peers for her beauty, intellect, and virtuous nature. The opening of "Agnes" introduces the protagonist's reflections on her time at school, where she becomes infatuated with Agnes, a classmate who stands out not only for her physical beauty but also for her exceptional character. As the narrator recalls their school days, she portrays Agnes as an ideal, someone whose opinions and actions heavily influence her own moral compass. They engage in youthful mischief, but the narrator quickly becomes self-conscious when she realizes that Agnes disapproves of their antics.
