"Nummer Elf" : Oorspronkelijke roman by P. A. Daum
"Nummer Elf" by P. A. Daum is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Lena Bruce, a young girl burdened by the responsibilities of caring for her asthmatic mother and managing a chaotic household. Through Lena’s perspective, we get a glimpse of her life, her family dynamics, and the pressures of societal expectations, particularly surrounding marriage. The opening of the story sets the stage for Lena's daily struggles
and highlights her character as both dutiful and weary. It begins with a vivid scene of Lena late at night, reading quietly while tending to her ailing mother. As the story unfolds, we learn about her family's dynamics, including her father’s indifference and her brother’s carefree nature compared to her serious disposition. Meanwhile, George Vermey, a man with his own contrasting life challenges and romantic intentions toward Lena, is introduced, along with his internal conflicts about marriage. The interactions between Lena, her family, and Vermey suggest a central tension regarding societal roles and personal desires that will likely propel the narrative forward.
