"The Land of Darkness" by Mrs. Oliphant is a narrative fiction written in the late 19th century. It follows the experiences of a newcomer in a disorienting and chaotic realm, characterized by turmoil and distress. The protagonist encounters a bizarre world filled with strange customs, indifferent crowds, and troubling encounters that challenge his understanding of humanity and morality. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist finds himself disoriented and confused upon arriving in this land of darkness, experiencing overwhelming sensations akin to a fall from height. He witnesses a bustling street filled with shops and individuals, yet feels an intense sense of alienation and hostility. The chaotic and cruel behavior of the denizens, alongside the mockery of a shopkeeper, increases his discomfort. His attempts to seek help and exhibit compassion are met with indifference and scorn. As he struggles with feelings of humiliation and rage, he confronts the brutal realities of this land, which leads to a series of traumatic encounters, highlighting the desolation and hopelessness of existence within this strange, unregulated society.
