Summary "Possession: A Novel" by Louis Bromfield is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The opening of the novel introduces us to intricate family dynamics and sets the stage for exploring themes of ambition, personal identity, and the generational struggle within a single family's history. The main character, Ellen Tolliver, stands at the center of these conflicts, combining a fierce desire for artistic achievement with the pressures of familial expectations. The beginning of the novel paints a vivid picture of the characters living in the Tolliver household, particularly focusing on the elderly Grandpa Tolliver, a man burdened by a sense of futility, and his granddaughter, Ellen, who is grappling with her own emotional turmoil. As the story unfolds through these characters, we witness Ellen's complex interactions with her family, especially her tough relationship with her mother, Hattie. Simultaneously, the narrative hints at Ellen's burgeoning artistic ambitions amid societal constraints, positioning her on a journey that is both deeply personal and universally relevant, grappling with the timeless struggle between aspiration and familial obligation. The presence of other characters, such as the enchanting cousin Lily and the pragmatic musician teacher Miss Ogilvie, adds depth to Ellen’s quest for identity and purpose, compelling readers to invest in her story from the outset.
