Summary "Broken to the Plow" by Charles Caldwell Dobie is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Fred Starratt, a man caught in a web of societal pressures and financial struggles, navigating his discontent with his job and marriage while yearning for a better life. The opening of the book introduces Fred Starratt, who faces the stress of financial instability as he contemplates attending a dinner party hosted by his wife, Helen. Fred's internal monologue reveals his frustration not only with their financial situation but also with the constraints placed upon them by societal expectations. As he interacts with his gruff boss, Mr. Wetherbee, and fellow office worker Brauer, it becomes clear that he feels ashamed of his financial predicament. The increasing tension between Fred and Helen surfaces when they discuss their aspirations and disillusionments, setting the stage for the conflicts that will arise as Fred decides to take a bold step into self-employment, challenging the status quo of their lives.
