| Summary | "Absolution" by Clara Viebig is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Mrs. Sophia Tiralla, a beautiful but troubled farmer's wife, and her complex relationships with her husband and her maid, Marianna. The opening chapters hint at themes of marital dissatisfaction and societal expectations, as well as the intricacies of human desires and deceit. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a tense scene in the cellar where Mrs. Tiralla panics over imagined rats, revealing her fraught mental state. The following interactions between her and Marianna, filled with underlying manipulation and fear, showcase both women's aspirations: Mrs. Tiralla seeks a life beyond her current confines, while Marianna appears to be acutely aware of her mistress's vulnerabilities. The opening sets the tone for the relationship dynamics that will unfold, hinting at deeper undercurrents of resentment, longing, and potential betrayal within their rural existence.
