| Summary | "Barbara Ladd" by Charles G. D. Roberts is a coming-of-age novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a spirited fourteen-year-old girl named Barbara Ladd, who, feeling misunderstood and constrained by her strict aunt in Second Westings, decides to run away to her more adventurous uncle in Stratford. Through her journey, the novel explores themes of individuality, freedom, and the struggle against societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Barbara as she prepares to escape the confines of her home. The narrative paints a vivid picture of dawn as she navigates through nature, carrying her cherished kittens in a basket and a soft bundle in her arms. Her sense of adventure is palpable; she interacts with her environment and her dog, Keep, imbued with a combination of excitement and apprehension. With a detailed description of her surroundings and her emotional state, the scene sets the tone for Barbara's audacious venture, establishing her character as a bold and emotionally complex young girl determined to seek her own path.
