Summary: "Daisy's Aunt" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily follows the spirited and impulsive Daisy Hanbury, who navigates her relationships and desires with charm and wit. As she interacts with her cousin Gladys and contemplates her place in society, themes of youthful exuberance, love, and the societal expectations of marriage begin to emerge. The opening portion introduces Daisy and her cousin Gladys during a visit to the zoo, where Daisy's playful nature is highlighted through her interactions with the animals and her skewed understanding of social norms. We see Daisy's irreverent spirit as she reflects on the nature of love and relationships, particularly her thoughts on her suitor Willie and her growing interest in Lord Lindfield, suggesting her struggle between the societal expectations of romance and her own desires. Daisy’s dynamic personality is contrasted with Gladys’s more demure demeanor, setting the stage for their evolving relationship as they confront their respective paths in life amidst the backdrop of family and social obligations.
