Project Gutenberg 2013-01-21 Public domain in the USA. 240 Thurston, E. Temple (Ernest Temple) 1879 1933 Thurston, Ernest Temple Thurston, Temple The Green Bough Produced by Al Haines "The Green Bough" by E. Temple Thurston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mary Throgmorton, a woman portrayed as a figure of both duty and sacrifice, whose quiet existence in the quaint Devon village of Bridnorth unfolds against the backdrop of societal expectations of women during this period. The narrative explores themes of love, longing, and the constraints placed on women, shining a spotlight on Mary's inner conflict and desire for something deeper beyond her domestic life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mary and her three sisters, who each exhibit various responses to their roles as women in a confined society. Mary, in particular, stands out as she grapples with her sense of identity and purpose, frequently longing for a life filled with more excitement and meaning. The opening passages reflect on the weight of social conventions that bind women, using metaphorical imagery to describe Mary as a "monument" of tragic nobility set apart from the others. Through the dynamics of the Throgmorton family, the story sets the stage for Mary’s journey toward self-discovery and the awakening of her desires, hinting at the transformative events that her encounter with the outside world—and possibly a new romantic connection—may bring.
