Summary "The Conflict" by David Graham Phillips is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows Jane Hastings, a young woman returning home after years of education and travels, who grapples with the societal expectations of marriage and her desire for a meaningful existence. In a world dominated by gender roles and the pressure to conform, Jane is restless, questioning her purpose beyond becoming a devoted wife. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Jane's internal struggle as she reflects on her upbringing and the societal norms that dictate women's lives. Jane encounters David Hull, who declares his love and proposes marriage, but she is repulsed by the idea, feeling that it would mean giving up her identity. As their conversation unfolds, Jane expresses disdain for societal expectations and her ambition for something greater. She is also drawn to the radical ideas of Victor Dorn, a man mentioned by Hull, representing a different, more revolutionary perspective on life and politics. This tension between traditional societal roles and the pursuit of personal fulfillment forms the crux of Jane's conflict, suggesting that her journey will involve challenging the status quo and seeking her own identity in a restrictive world.
