Summary: "Kangaroo" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Richard Lovat Somers, an Englishman who moves to Australia with his wife, Harriet, in search of a new life. Through Somers’ perspective, the novel explores themes of cultural dislocation, personal identity, and the contrast between European values and Australian society. At the start of "Kangaroo," readers are introduced to Somers and Harriet as they navigate their new surroundings in Sydney. The narrative unfolds with Somers observing his unfamiliar environment and the people around him, including a group of workmen and a peculiar foreign-looking couple. As they settle into their modest bungalow, Somers reflects on his dissatisfaction with Australian life and his longing for Europe, while also experiencing unsettling encounters that hint at deeper conflicts between local Australian culture and his own expectations. The intricate dynamics of their interactions with neighbors, especially the Callcotts, set the stage for Somers’ ensuing struggles with identity and belonging in this foreign land.
