"Thyrza" by George Gissing is a novel written during the late 19th century. It delves into the complex lives of its characters while exploring themes of social class, the role of women, and individual aspirations against the backdrop of Victorian society. The opening introduces several main characters, including Annabel Newthorpe, her cousin Paula Tyrrell, and the visitor Mr. Egremont, setting the stage for their intertwined fates. The beginning of "Thyrza" starts quietly at a breakfast table where Mr. Newthorpe, his daughter Annabel, and their cousin Paula are conversing. Paula's recent illness has led her to stay with the Newthorpes in the countryside, and her lighthearted chatter contrasts with the more somber undertones of her surroundings. The characters engage in brief discussions about another visitor, Mr. Egremont, creating intrigue about his potential impact on their lives. Annabel is portrayed as thoughtful and introspective, highlighting the tension between her sheltered life and the expectations placed upon her as she approaches adulthood. The reader gets a glimpse of the looming concerns over societal pressures, particularly regarding Annabel's future in a world poised to define her choices.
