Fairly easy to read. Produced by David Widger "A Reversion To Type" by Josephine Daskam Bacon is a short story written in the early 20th century. This fictional narrative explores themes of identity, love, and societal expectations through the lens of a young woman contemplating her life choices and romantic past. The story subtly critiques the roles of women in a collegiate environment and raises questions about the value of independence versus domestic fulfillment. The narrative follows a disillusioned German assistant professor who reflects on her life while teaching a class of young women. As she observes her students, she becomes increasingly aware of the simplicity and ease of their lives compared to her own struggles and sacrifices for education and independence, particularly her past love for a man named Hermann. The protagonist grapples with her choices, contemplating the feasibility of returning to her former life in Germany and reconnecting with Hermann, whom she left behind. As she interacts with her students and navigates the complexities of her evolving self-image, the story culminates in her realization that she may have lost her chance at happiness, yet feels an inexplicable allure to the idea of love and life outside her current reality.
