| Summary | "Jemima Placid; or, The Advantage of Good-Nature" by Mary Ann Kilner is a didactic children's novel written in the early 19th century. Set within a framework of moral education, this book explores the importance of good nature and self-control, primarily through the experiences of its titular character, Jemima. The narrative is focused on illustrating the contrast between Jemima's composed demeanor and the fretfulness of her cousins, promoting the idea that a calm disposition leads to greater happiness and social acceptance. The story follows Jemima Placid, a young girl who embodies an exemplary character of good nature. As Jemima visits her more temperamental cousins in London, she faces various challenges and situations that test her patient and amiable disposition. From misunderstandings and accidents to the ill-temper of her cousins, Jemima navigates her social landscape with composure and warmth. Through these experiences, the narrative reinforces the value of kindness, patience, and resilience in the face of life's disappointments, ultimately culminating in Jemima being admired and respected by all around her. The book acts not just as a charming story but also as a moral guide, encouraging readers to cultivate a good-natured character like Jemima's. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
