Summary "The Sign of the Spider" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Laurence Stanninghame, a middle-aged man disillusioned with life and his domestic circumstances. Facing despair and a sense of hopelessness, he decides to travel to Johannesburg in search of fortune and a new beginning, leaving behind his stagnant suburban life and a troubled marital relationship. At the start of the narrative, we find Laurence engaged in a tense breakfast conversation with his wife, who is frustrated by his intention to leave for Johannesburg. His desire for change is palpable as he contemplates the monotony of his existence and the possibility of success in the gold rush. After declaring his intention to go, Laurence attempts to navigate the tension at home while reflecting on his need for a fresh start. As he prepares for his journey, he is haunted by thoughts of his domestic life yet yearns for the chance to restore vitality to his existence. The opening chapters set the stage for an exploration of hope, ambition, and the complexities of human relationships, as Laurence moves toward a new chapter in his life.
