"Die Schwägerinnen. Erster Theil." by Henriette Wilhelmine Arndt Hanke is a novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative introduces readers to the lives of two sisters-in-law, Fabia and Therese, who live in a Cistercian abbey, revealing their contrasting personalities and the tensions that arise from their differing views on life and societal norms. The novel delves into themes of duty, morality, and the complexities of family dynamics, which are explored through the interactions and conflicts of its main characters. The opening of the novel immerses the reader in the grand yet melancholic setting of a former Cistercian convent, where two women occupy a room filled with religious symbols and remnants of the past. Fabia, an older woman, is depicted as serious and morally strict, spending her time crafting a garland of everlasting flowers, while Therese, her younger sister-in-law, embodies a more carefree and lighthearted attitude. Their relationship is strained by differing values, leading to a heated discussion about their roles and the perceived frivolity of Therese's lifestyle. As the administrator, their brother, enters the scene, tensions rise further, illustrating the emotional undercurrents and the complexity of familial bonds amid a backdrop of loss and societal change.
