Comstock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Joyce Birkdale, a young woman navigating the complexities of love and relationships against the backdrop of the small, insular community of St. Angé. The novel explores themes of desire, jealousy, and the struggle for identity amidst societal expectations, with Joyce caught between two men: the rugged Jude Lauzoon and the more refined John Gaston, whose arrival shifts everything for her. The opening of the story introduces Jude Lauzoon, who is consumed by jealousy and rage after learning about Joyce's growing affection for Gaston. As he lies on Beacon Hill contemplating his feelings, we witness his turbulent thoughts and emotional turmoil. Through the interjection of a little boy, Billy, who innocently reveals the romantic entanglements, the stage is set for conflict. Joyce is portrayed as innocent yet awakening to her own desires, and her interactions with both Jude and Gaston lay the groundwork for the drama that will unfold in their relationships. The various dynamics among these characters and the setting of St. Angé suggest a rich exploration of interpersonal conflicts and the changing roles of women during this period.
