| Summary | "At the Mercy of Tiberius" by Augusta J. Evans Wilson is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the emotional and moral struggles of its main character, Beryl Brentano, as she navigates the complexities of familial obligation, pride, and resilience amid dire circumstances. With her mother gravely ill and in desperate need of aid, Beryl must confront her estranged grandfather, General Darrington, a formidable figure from whom she seeks assistance while grappling with her own sense of dignity and identity. The beginning of the story introduces us to the frail and desperate Mrs. Brentano, who urges her daughter, Beryl, to seek aid from her wealthy grandfather, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation between Beryl and General Darrington. As Beryl grapples with her reluctance to humble herself for her mother’s sake, we see her strong will and resolve. The narrative captures the delicate dynamics of their family, revealing Beryl's noble character as she prepares to face a man she fears yet must approach for help. This opening portion skillfully establishes themes of duty, identity, and the weight of legacy as Beryl embarks on her challenging mission, framing her personal struggles within the larger context of societal expectations and familial ties.
