| Summary | "The Price" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Kenneth Griswold, a passionate yet struggling writer who finds himself navigating the harsh realities of life in New Orleans. As he grapples with themes of social justice and inequality, Griswold's life takes a drastic turn when desperation drives him to commit an audacious bank robbery. The opening of the novel introduces Griswold during a farewell supper with a friend as he reflects on his failures and frustrations. We see his deep dissatisfaction with the status quo and the economic hardships that have pushed him to the brink. He engages in a fervent discussion about the plight of the poor and expresses his radical beliefs, which foreshadows his later decision to rob a bank. This initial setup not only establishes Griswold's inner turmoil and ideals but also hints at the drastic actions he will take in response to his circumstances, laying the groundwork for the moral and ethical challenges that will arise throughout the story.
