| Summary | "The Unclassed" by George Gissing is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of social class, morality, and the struggles of its characters as they navigate the complexities of their lives in a rigid society. The narrative begins to unfold primarily through the experiences of young Ida Starr, the daughter of a troubled mother, Lotty Starr, who is determined to secure a respectable life for her daughter despite the circumstances of their existence. At the start of the novel, the setting is introduced through a chaotic scene in a school where an incident of violence occurs. Ida Starr, a sensitive and introspective girl, reacts to mistreatment from her classmate Harriet by striking her with a slate, resulting in a head injury. This act of passion has significant implications for Ida, as she must now face the consequences of her actions and the broader societal judgments that come with them. Meanwhile, Lotty Starr, Ida's mother, battles her own demons while raising her daughter, and the narrative hints at deeper issues surrounding family dynamics, social perception, and the quest for dignity against debilitating odds. The opening chapters set a poignant tone for the unfolding story, highlighting the struggles of childhood, maternal care, and the societal constraints that ultimately dictate the characters' paths.
