Summary "At the Gate of Samaria" by William John Locke is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Clytie Davenant, an aspiring young artist grappling with the constraints of her puritanical upbringing and the expectations of societal norms. As she seeks to forge her own identity and pursue her artistic ambitions, Clytie's relationships with her family, particularly her father and sister, highlight the struggles between tradition and the desire for personal freedom. The opening of the novel introduces the Davenant family, focusing on the interactions between the old patriarch, Mr. Davenant, and his daughter, Mrs. Blather, who are increasingly concerned about Clytie's unconventional aspirations. The atmosphere is stifled and oppressive, reflecting the remnants of their Puritan background, which stifles emotional expression and creativity. Clytie's boldness in pursing her art becomes a source of tension within the family, as her father cannot comprehend her desire for a life filled with passion and individuality. As the narrative progresses, the conflict between Clytie's artistic inclinations and her family's conservative values becomes more pronounced, encapsulating her journey towards self-discovery and the challenges she faces in a society that often suppresses true artistic expression.
