(Raymond Moreau) V. V.'s Eyes E-text prepared by Rick Niles, John Hagerson, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "V. V.'s Eyes" by Henry Sydnor Harrison is a novel written in the early 20th century. It seems to explore the lives of the upper and lower classes within a city, specifically focusing on the contrasting experiences of the affluent Heth family and the less fortunate V. Vivian, M.D. The book opens with themes of social class distinctions and personal aspirations, hinting at potential conflicts and the search for meaning in the midst of societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to V. Vivian, a doctor residing in a rundown part of the city, who is passionate about social reform and is critical of the wealthy, including the Heth family. V. Vivian's fervor becomes apparent when he discusses factory conditions and the neglect of the working class. Meanwhile, the narrative also shifts to the Heth household, particularly to young Carlisle Heth, who is presented as eager yet constrained by her mother's strong influence. As she navigates her own desires and societal pressures, a significant incident occurs when Carlisle is confronted by Jack Dalhousie while sailing, leading to an awkward and potentially scandalous situation that can have repercussions for her reputation. The intertwining lives of these characters set the stage for exploring themes of love, ambition, and the societal norms that bind them.
