Summary "Sprotje" by M. Scharten-Antink is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a young girl named Marietje, who transitions from her time at a sewing school into the uncertain world of work, facing societal expectations and personal anxieties. Through her experiences, she grapples with the challenges of poverty, self-identity, and aspirations for a better future. The opening of the novel introduces us to Marietje as she leaves the sewing school after her last lesson, carrying her newly acquired sewing supplies—a bittersweet moment filled with both excitement and melancholy. We learn about her delicate nature and the life she has led with a struggling family, including a father who has been permanently affected by an accident. As she observes her peers who will soon step confidently into their roles as employed girls, Marietje's insecurities and fears surface, particularly her dread of factory work. The text poignantly depicts her inner thoughts, revealing her desire for a quiet, domestic life as a house maid and the complexities of her relationship with her family, hinting at the struggles she will face as she tries to pursue her dreams amidst societal pressures.
