Summary | "The Wheel of Life" by Ellen Glasgow is a novel set in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the lives of Gerty Bridewell and her circle, exploring themes of love, social expectation, and personal fulfillment amidst the complexities of their relationships. The narrative delves into the emotional struggles of its characters, particularly Gerty, as she navigates her marriage to Perry Bridewell while reflecting on her desires and friendships, especially with the enigmatic Laura Wilde. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Gerty Bridewell, who wakes up feeling discontent despite her beauty and marriage to a wealthy man. As she languishes in bed, pondering her unhappiness and how her marriage does not fulfill her dreams, we are taken into her thoughts about her friendships and her relationship with Laura Wilde. Gerty's husband, Perry, enters the scene, revealing a dynamic in their relationship that plays into Gerty's discontent. With humorous yet cynical exchanges, the reader gets a glimpse into the pair's banter and hints of deeper issues as Gerty reflects on her social circle and begins to question her own desires for happiness and fulfillment.
