"Ruth Erskine's Son" by Pansy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ruth Erskine Burnham and her son, Erskine, highlighting the complexities of their relationship as they navigate through societal expectations, personal aspirations, and family dynamics. As Ruth reflects on her past and her responsibilities as a mother, the novel delves into themes of love, loss, and the hope of a future intertwined with Erskine's potential romantic interests. The opening portion introduces Ruth, who is initially portrayed as a reflective mother, pondering the memories of her life and the bereavements she has endured. The narrative captures the tender moments between her and her son, particularly the discussion of Erskine's ambitions and the influence of societal norms on their relationship. As Ruth struggles with her fears about Erskine growing up and facing the outside world, it becomes clear that she harbors deep love and concern for his future. The dynamics shift as Erskine, now navigating society at college, begins to encounter societal pressures, which adds to Ruth's anxieties as a protective mother. This beginning sets the stage for their evolving relationship as they confront new challenges and relationships that could impact their bond.
