Summary "The Curse of Gold" by Ann S. Stephens is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens in a hospital ward, showcasing the stark struggles of impoverished women and the emotional turmoil surrounding motherhood, poverty, and societal neglect. Central to the emotional narrative is the character of Madame De Marke, whose avaricious nature drives the plot, while Mary Margaret Dillon emerges as another key character who embodies compassion in the face of hardship. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the bleak conditions of a hospital ward where women, burdened by sickness and shame, seek refuge. The narrative vividly describes the dire circumstances surrounding Mary Margaret Dillon, who has just given birth, and her fragile mental state as she grapples with loss and impending despair. The nurse, Jane Kelly, plays a pivotal role, embodying both care and malice as she navigates the hospital’s moral landscape. As the opening unfolds, the contrast between the kindness of Mary Margaret and the callousness of her surroundings sets the tone for the exploration of themes such as survival and the tragic consequences of societal scorn.
