| Summary | "Principle and Practice: The Orphan Family" by Harriet Martineau is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story primarily explores the struggles and dynamics of a family of orphans who must find ways to sustain themselves and maintain their unity after the loss of their father, Mr. Forsyth, a merchant. Central characters include Jane, the eldest daughter, who takes on the responsibility of caring for her siblings, and Charles, her spirited younger brother, who seeks independence and aims to support the family. The opening of the novel presents the heart-wrenching situation of the Forsyth siblings following the death of their father and the abrupt changes this brings to their lives. Jane, aged sixteen, grapples with her new role as the caretaker of her younger siblings, dealing with feelings of anxiety and responsibility, while Charles, full of hope and determination, encourages her that they can overcome their hardships together. The chapter reveals their transition to a new home, their financial struggles, and Jane's commitment to keep everyone together and secure the education of her siblings, showcasing themes of resilience, familial bonds, and the harsh realities of orphanhood in a challenging economic landscape.
