| Summary | "The Young Diana: An Experiment of the Future" by Marie Corelli is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Diana May, a somewhat awkward, aging spinster who grapples with her own identity and purpose, feeling out of place in her family and society. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. May, lead a complacent, conventional lifestyle, treating Diana as a burden rather than a beloved daughter, which amplifies her feelings of alienation and longing for love and purpose. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Diana's discontented life with her wealthy but self-absorbed parents, who are oblivious to her aspirations and worth. The narrative delves into Diana's reflections on her life choices, her struggles with societal expectations, and the crushing disappointment of being overlooked and unloved. After a passing comment from her father about how she adds no value to their lives, Diana begins to consider her own freedom for the first time. The opening effectively sets the stage for her journey of self-discovery amid personal and societal constraints, hinting at transformative possibilities that may lie ahead.
