"The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Harman, a young woman navigating her complicated life and marriage to Sir Isaac Harman, a wealthy and somewhat controlling businessman. The narrative explores themes of social class, identity, and the constraints faced by women during this period, delving into both Lady Harman's personal struggles and the world around her. At the start of the novel, we meet Lady Harman as she arrives at a quaint house called Black Strands, where she is interested in viewing the property. Throughout this opening portion, we see her interaction with Mr. Brumley, the house's potential landlord, and her chauffeur, Clarence. The scene is filled with subtle tension as the lady exhibits curiosity about the house while sensing the pressures of her controlling marriage, especially when she accidentally reveals her husband's name and business, stirring complex emotions. The dynamics between Lady Harman and Mr. Brumley suggest a budding connection that may challenge her existing constraints, setting the stage for deeper explorations of her character and circumstances.
