| Summary | "Mary Marston" by George MacDonald is a novel written during the late 19th century. It is set in an old country town and revolves around the life experiences of Mary Marston, the main character, who navigates social class distinctions, personal convictions, and romantic dynamics within her community. The narrative explores themes of virtue, self-awareness, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly focusing on the interactions between Mary and the various men who enter her life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the quaint atmosphere of a small-town draper's shop where Mary works alongside her father and George Turnbull, her colleague. The scene is set early in May when the town's streets are nearly deserted, highlighting the shop's unique character amidst its humble yet reputable offerings. We quickly see the interactions among the characters, particularly Mary and a customer named Tom Helmer, whose flirtation is met with her firm resistance. This initial chapter establishes Mary's strong moral compass and individuality against the backdrop of social expectations. Through her conversations with George and others, we glimpse her views on class, relationships, and the significance of personal integrity, setting the stage for her journey of growth throughout the story.
