Ellen Duncan; And The Proctor's Daughter The Works of William Carleton, Volume Two Produced by David Widger "Ellen Duncan; And The Proctor's Daughter" by William Carleton is a historical novel written during the 19th century, specifically set against the backdrop of rural Ireland. The story tackles themes of love, justice, and social injustice, focusing on the struggles of the titular characters, Ellen Duncan and the Proctor's Daughter, as they navigate the harsh realities of their lives amid societal upheaval and personal calamities. The narrative begins with Ellen Duncan, who endures heartbreak as her husband Owen becomes embroiled in a murder accusation stemming from a deeply flawed justice system. Owen, a good-natured man, is wrongfully suspected of murdering a local proctor, which leads to dire consequences for both him and Ellen. As Ellen fiercely defends her husband's innocence and seeks redemption, she encounters various obstacles, including societal expectations and her own emotional turmoil. In parallel, the story introduces Minny Whelan, the Proctor's Daughter, who unwittingly holds a key to the narrative's climax by demonstrating compassion and mercy amidst the chaos. Their stories intertwine, culminating in themes of sacrifice, parental love, and the triumph of good-heartedness over enmity, reinforcing the profound impact of love and compassion in the face of adversity.
