"The Wanderer; or, Female Difficulties (Volume 2 of 5)" by Fanny Burney is a novel written in the late 18th century. The book explores themes of female agency and societal expectations through the struggles of its main characters, notably Ellis and Elinor. As Ellis navigates a world filled with emotional turmoil and societal constraints, her attempts to assert her independence reveal the complexities of women's roles during this period. The opening of the novel introduces Ellis in a state of deep contemplation following a distressing event involving her friend Elinor. As Ellis grapples with her feelings of responsibility and fear for Elinor's well-being, she finds herself increasingly caught between the expectations of social propriety and her urgent desire for freedom. The tension heightens as Ellis receives a letter from Elinor revealing her intentions to flee, provoking further chaos and concern among their social circle. This instability sets the stage for Ellis’s journey of self-discovery and the challenges she faces as she seeks to forge a path for herself amidst external pressures and personal conflicts.
