"Folle-Farine" by Ouida is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character Folle-Farine, a small and seemingly worthless child who is mistreated by a cruel miller, the man who has become her taskmaster. The opening sets a dark tone as Folle-Farine is likened to the dust produced in the milling process, signifying her low worth in the eyes of society and her struggle for dignity and freedom in a world that appears merciless towards her. At the start of the novel, Folle-Farine is introduced as a child of six or eight years old who toils under the harsh conditions of the mill, receiving little compassion or nurturing from the people around her. The narrative describes her laborious life, her abuse at the hands of the miller, and her longing for freedom symbolized by the dust that flies away into the world. Folle-Farine bears the pain in silence, which reveals her inner strength and resilience. The vivid imagery of her surroundings juxtaposed with her emotional suffering sets the stage for a tale that seems to explore themes of innocence, abandonment, and the harsh realities of life for those deemed worthless by society.
