Merrill, Frank Thayer The Measure of a Man Produced by Polly Stratton, Charles Aldarondo and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Measure of a Man" by Amelia E. Barr is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story appears to revolve around themes of family, duty, and personal ambition, with a particular emphasis on the significance of motherhood and domestic life in shaping society. The main character, John Hatton, is introduced as a thoughtful and responsible man who navigates both personal and familial challenges, notably regarding his brother Harry and their mother. At the start of the novel, the narrative paints a vivid picture of John's journey over the picturesque Shetland moors, where he reflects on life and love against the backdrop of the sea. He is depicted as deeply connected to his responsibilities at Hatton Mill, a family business, which he seems to regard with both pride and anxiety, especially in relation to his brother's troubling intentions. As the story unfolds, there is a sense of unspoken conflicts involving family expectations, romantic interests, and the struggle between personal desires and obligations, particularly illustrated through Harry’s reckless aspirations and John's efforts to guide him responsibly. It sets the stage for a compelling exploration of character and the complexities of human relationships.
