| Summary | "The Heart of Arethusa" by Frances Barton Fox is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It explores the life of Arethusa, a young girl who navigates family dynamics and personal desires within the confines of a well-ordered farmhouse led by her aunts. The story begins by introducing the serene yet chaotic environment in which she lives, hinting towards her adventurous spirit and longing for freedom from the constraints of her relatives. The opening of the novel sets the scene at the family's farm, focusing on Arethusa's interactions with her aunts, particularly Miss Eliza, who is depicted as strict and orderly. As a storm brews, Arethusa revels in the thrill of nature, showcasing her wild spirit and desire for independence. Despite her enthusiasm, she faces the disapproval of her aunts, emphasizing the clash between her youthful energy and their conservative expectations. The first chapters establish her character as someone who yearns for adventure, love, and acknowledgement from her family while simultaneously setting up the conflict she will face with her father's recent marriage and unexpected changes to her life.
