"Mrs. Maxon Protests" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the early 20th century. This engaging story centers on Winnie Maxon, a woman struggling with her incompatible marriage to Cyril Maxon, a successful barrister. As she grapples with her feelings and the constraints of societal expectations, Winnie seeks liberation from a life characterized by emotional suppression. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mrs. Maxon and her friend Hobart Gaynor in a legal office, where she expresses her frustrations with her marriage. She humorously coins the term "inkpat" to describe her deep-seated sense of incompatibility with Cyril, hinting at the myriad of small grievances that have built up over time. As they converse, it becomes clear that Winnie feels trapped and discontented in her marriage, leading her to contemplate separation. Her desire for independence is further complicated by her past affection for Cyril and the societal expectations of marriage in their time. This complex emotional landscape sets the stage for her internal conflict and the potential upheaval in her life.
