Project Gutenberg 2006-06-14 Public domain in the USA. 198 Galsworthy, John 1867 1933 Sinjohn, John Fraternity Produced by David Widger "Fraternity" by John Galsworthy is a novel written during the early 20th century, likely around the time of its publication between the world wars. This work delves into the complexities of human relationships and social disparities, encapsulating the inner lives and struggles of its characters as they navigate societal expectations and personal desires. Central to the story is Cecilia Dallison, a woman grappling with her own identity and circumstances amid the backdrop of her family and their connections to the poorer classes represented by characters like the seamstress Mrs. Hughs. At the start of the novel, a rich tapestry of life on a typical spring day in Kensington is painted, providing a glimpse into various social classes interacting, especially at the establishment of Messrs. Rose and Thorn. Cecilia, a graceful woman about to purchase a new dress, is depicted in her moment of indecision, torn between her personal desires and an awareness of the struggles faced by those less fortunate than herself, including Mrs. Hughs, whose husband is troubling her. As Cecilia navigates her relationships with her husband, daughter, and other family members, her concern for Mrs. Hughs develops, setting the stage for a broader examination of class differences and the social responsibilities that accompany privilege. The opening establishes key themes of empathy and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals within a stratified society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
