| Summary | "Nedra" by George Barr McCutcheon is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Hugh Ridgeway and Grace Vernon, two young people engaged to be married, who are facing societal pressures and family expectations leading up to their wedding. As they navigate the complexities of their engagement, they consider an impulsive elopement to free themselves from the constraints of their lives. The opening of "Nedra" introduces us to the characters as they prepare for their announcement party. Hugh arrives late to meet Grace, and their playful banter reveals the tension surrounding their engagement and the looming expectations from Grace's controlling Aunt Elizabeth. Discussing their wedding plans, they express their desire for a simple ceremony, contrasting it with the grand affair that is expected by society. The chapter sets the stage for their growing frustration and the possibility of an elopement, introducing themes of love, rebellion against societal norms, and the pursuit of personal happiness.
