Summary: "A Intrusa" by Júlia Lopes de Almeida is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Argemiro Cláudio, a widowed lawyer, who seeks a governess for his daughter, Maria da Glória, as he tries to navigate his life as a single father in a society layered with complexities and expectations. The characters' interactions reveal various aspects of domestic life and the struggles of personal relationships, particularly the themes of love, jealousy, and the challenges of accepting change. The opening of the novel introduces a rainy night scene at Argemiro's house, where he and his friends engage in conversation over a game of poker. This setting allows for an exploration of their personalities and a glimpse into Argemiro's solitude after losing his wife. The dialogue hints at personal ambitions, with political discussions and reflections on the nature of happiness, while establishing a backdrop of camaraderie tinged with underlying tensions. As Argemiro reveals his intention to hire a young woman from an advertisement to assist with his household and help care for his daughter, we witness both his desperation for companionship and the societal judgments that accompany such decisions—setting the stage for the conflicts that will arise as the story progresses.
