Title The Master of Man: The Story of a Sin
Credits Al Haines
Summary "The Master of Man: The Story of a Sin" by Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Victor Stowell, a head boy at King William's College, and his tumultuous journey of conscience and the repercussions of a serious accusation that brings disgrace to himself and those close to him. The opening portrays the beginning of a scandal involving Stowell and sets the stage for themes of honor, guilt, and social reputation. At the start of the novel, the Principal of King William's College addresses the students about a disgraceful incident involving one of their classmates, leading to a public inquiry to cleanse the school's name. Victor Stowell is identified as the suspect but remains defiant and does not confess to wrongdoing, despite having taken punishment for another boy's actions to protect him from disgrace. The narrative quickly reveals the complications of loyalty between friends, societal pressures, and the moral dilemmas faced by young boys in a strict educational environment. As the chapter unfolds, an intricate web of relationships and secrets begins to unravel, setting the tone for the conflicts and resolutions that will ensue throughout the story.
