Summary "What Necessity Knows" by L. Dougall is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the complexities of human emotions and social interactions against the backdrop of Canadian life during a time of significant social change, particularly focusing on the experiences of immigrants and their struggles for identity and belonging. The narrative introduces Robert Trenholme, a principled clergyman, and Sissy Cameron, a resourceful young woman facing the challenges of loss and autonomy. The opening of the story establishes a reflective tone as Robert Trenholme discusses the nature of life's sorrows, highlighting the often-overlooked complexities of personal struggles. As he interacts with a troubled member of his congregation, the scene suggests the weight of responsibility felt by those in positions of guidance. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to Sissy, who is grappling with the recent death of her father and the oppressive prospect of being forced to stay in an unfulfilling environment under the care of Mr. Bates, who has proposed marriage to her. Their strained relationship, coupled with her desire for freedom and happiness, sets the stage for the unfolding drama as Sissy contemplates her future amidst her father's passing and the rugged isolation of her life.
