"Archie's Mistake" by G. E. Wyatt is a novel written in the early 20th century that delves into themes of judgment, compassion, and the consequences of hasty conclusions. The story is set in a mill town where class distinctions and the harsh realities of working-class life come to the forefront, particularly through the experiences of the main character, Stephen Bennett. The novel follows Stephen, a young and ragged worker at Fairfax's cotton mill, who faces contempt from his colleagues due to his shabby appearance and mysterious background. Sparks of conflict arise when Archie's Fairfax, the mill owner’s son, forms unwarranted suspicions about Stephen's character, leading to a series of misunderstandings. Stephen struggles under the weight of his family obligations and the pressure of being misjudged, ultimately exposing the failings in both Archie’s quick judgments and the social prejudices of the mill workers. A violent encounter reveals the depths of Stephen's hardships, prompting Archie to confront his own mistaken beliefs and the impact of his actions on others, culminating in a moral lesson about empathy and righteousness.
