| Summary | "Ormond; Or, The Secret Witness. Volume 3 (of 3)" by Charles Brockden Brown is a novel written in the early 19th century. This installment follows the intricate and emotional journey of the protagonist, Martinette, as she navigates love, loss, and societal constraints during tumultuous times. The themes of personal sacrifice and the quest for freedom are central to the narrative, with Martinette's story intersecting with the challenges faced by those close to her. The opening of the novel introduces Martinette's early life, marked by the tragic loss of her family due to plague and her subsequent adoption by a merchant. As she matures, Martinette expresses a passionate longing for adventure and intellectual engagement, which sparks tensions with her austere guardians. The narrative delves into her growing discontent with her situation and the societal expectations placed upon her as a woman, culminating in her desire to embrace love and independence against the backdrop of societal upheaval. The complexities of her relationships, particularly with the priest Bartoli and her friend Lady D'Arcy, lay the foundation for the unfolding drama, illustrating the intricate interplay between personal desires and external challenges that defines Martinette's journey.
