Summary "Paths of Judgement" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the Merrick family, especially the dynamics between Mrs. Cuthbert Merrick and her niece Felicia, as they navigate their relationships with various guests in their country home, particularly Maurice Wynne, a charming if poor young man. The novel explores themes of societal expectations, intellectual pursuits, and deeply human emotions set against the backdrop of a changing world. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mrs. Merrick, who observes her surroundings with a critical eye, reflecting her character's materialistic and status-conscious nature. Felicia, her niece, presents a contrasting perspective—she finds joy in nature and desires authenticity in her life. Tension arises in their relationship as Mrs. Merrick emphasizes social standing, while Felicia grapples with jealousy towards Lady Angela, a beautiful, idealistic friend of the family who is also interested in Maurice. The opening chapters paint a rich tableau of character interactions, setting the stage for underlying conflicts concerning love, ambition, and the pursuit of meaning in social relationships.
