| Summary | "John Halifax, Gentleman" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story follows the life of Phineas Fletcher, who is introduced to the strong and resilient John Halifax, a boy from a lower social background. As their paths intertwine, the novel explores themes of friendship, social class, and the struggle for identity and dignity. The opening of the book sets the stage as we meet Phineas and his father, Abel Fletcher, seeking shelter from the rain when they encounter John Halifax, a waif-like boy who demonstrates a strong sense of character despite his circumstances. As they interact, John reveals his humble background and desire to work, prompting Abel Fletcher to take him under his wing as a helper at the tan-yard. The vibrant descriptions of the setting and the awakening camaraderie between Phineas and John underscore the rich character development that hints at the deeper themes of personal growth and aspiration that will unfold throughout the novel.
