Summary "Arthur Mervyn; Or, Memoirs of the Year 1793" by Charles Brockden Brown is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story takes place during a time of pestilence in Philadelphia and follows the main character, Arthur Mervyn, as he navigates the challenges posed by the epidemic and his own moral dilemmas. Through Mervyn's experiences, the novel likely explores themes of humanity, duty, and the influence of personal tragedies on one's fate. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the protagonist, Arthur Mervyn, who is currently residing in Philadelphia amidst a devastating epidemic. As he returns home one evening, he encounters a sick man outside his house and is compelled to help despite the risks involved. Mervyn discusses the situation with his wife, and after weighing their options, they decide to take the ailing man into their home, emphasizing their compassion and sense of duty. The chapter also touches on Mervyn’s reflections about his new friend, who he learns is named Arthur Mervyn, as well as the social dynamics surrounding the epidemic, revealing both the individual struggles associated with it and the broader societal implications.
