LoC No. 04015074
Title Louisiana
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Louisiana" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Olivia Ferrol, a woman visiting the socially distinct Oakvale Springs, who encounters a rather reserved and innocent girl named Louisiana. As both characters navigate their contrasting worlds, themes of identity and societal expectations emerge, particularly through Louisiana's struggle to balance her humble origins with the allure of a different life. At the start of "Louisiana," we are introduced to Olivia Ferrol, who feels out of place at the Springs and observes the dynamics among the other guests, including her growing intrigue with Louisiana, a young girl who arrives timidly and awkwardly. Olivia takes it upon herself to help Louisiana, seeing her as a subject worthy of study given her background and demeanor. The opening sets a tone of exploration as Olivia reflects on human nature and types of people, while Louisiana is depicted as sweet yet out of her depth in this new environment. Their initial interactions hint at a bond forming, but also foreshadow deeper complexities as Louisiana's story unfolds in the context of her family's rural life and the contrast with Olivia's expectations.
