Summary: "Self-Control: A Novel" by Mary Brunton is a fiction work written in the early 19th century. The story centers around the character of Laura Montreville, who faces numerous challenges including family struggles, personal loss, and the complexities of love and virtue. The novel delves into themes of self-denial and moral integrity as Laura navigates her relationships, particularly with her mother, Lady Harriet, and the charming yet flawed Colonel Hargrave. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Laura Montreville, who is mourning the death of her mother while grappling with her father's lack of fortune. Laura's delicate health and emotional exhaustion are juxtaposed with her strong sense of duty and fortitude. As she recalls her mother's turbulent behavior and reflects on her own character, she draws strength from the supportive figure of Mrs. Douglas, the village pastor's wife. It is within this context of familial tension and burgeoning self-awareness that Laura encounters Colonel Hargrave, who is captivated by her beauty and innocence, leading to complicated emotional exchanges that set the stage for the trials and tribulations she will face in her quest for self-control and personal integrity.
