| Summary | "Marcella: Romaani" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the main character, Marcella Boyce, who has recently inherited her family's estate, Mellor Park, and navigates her new life filled with personal ambitions and social responsibilities. As she grapples with her past and the complexities of her new social standing, the narrative explores themes of identity, class, and social justice. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Marcella as she gazes out of her window, filled with awe at the beauty of the landscape surrounding her new home. Recently moved from art school to uphold her family's legacy, Marcella is both eager and anxious to embrace her role as the heir to the estate. She reflects on her earlier life filled with insecurity and a desire for acceptance, contrasting it with her aspirations for a vibrant future. The opening establishes her rich inner life, her struggles with societal expectations, and a burgeoning sense of purpose as she contemplates how her status may allow her to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate around her.
