| Summary | "Lady Penelope" by Morley Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around the character of Lady Penelope Brading, a beautiful and determined young woman dedicated to reforming society and challenging traditional norms, particularly concerning marriage and the roles of men and women. The opening of the book details Lady Penelope's defining moment as she celebrates her twenty-first birthday. Surrounded by friends and family, she boldly declares her intention to devote her life to societal reform, which includes addressing the selfishness and frivolousness she perceives in men. The narrative introduces several supporting characters, including her meek cousin Ethel and her overbearing aunt Titania, who represent the established societal norms that Penelope wishes to challenge. This initial chapter sets the stage for Penelope's revolutionary spirit and her struggle against societal expectations, hinting at the dynamic interactions she will have with her suitors, whom she refers to as her "horde." The blend of humor and social commentary creates an engaging backdrop for exploring themes of individualism and the quest for personal freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
