Summary "Keetje" by Neel Doff is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the titular character, Keetje, a young girl navigating a life of hardship and poverty in the city. As she struggles to care for her family, the narrative explores themes of desperation, indignity, and the quest for dignity in a world that offers little mercy. The opening of "Keetje" immerses readers into the protagonist's harsh reality as she prepares to engage in prostitution, forced by circumstances to support her mother and siblings. The initial scenes depict Keetje's conflicted feelings towards her mother, who accompanies her as she embarks on this degrading undertaking. Their interactions reveal Keetje’s mix of shame and anger, as she grapples with her circumstances. As the narrative unfolds, Keetje's resilience shines through, highlighting her determination to seek a better life despite the grim environment surrounding her. This portion sets the stage for an exploration of class struggles and personal identity within the constraints of a society that judges based on one's circumstances.
