"A House Divided Against Itself" by Mrs. Oliphant is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Mr. Waring and his daughter, Frances, who live in a secluded Italian town, navigating the complexities of their existence that is filled with mystery and undefined family ties. Their interactions hint at deeper issues surrounding Mr. Waring's past, which Frances is increasingly curious about as she encounters strangers who seem to know more about her father's history than she does. The opening of the novel introduces the Waring family, comprised of Mr. Waring, a delicate and reclusive figure, and his bright, inquisitive daughter, Frances. As they walk through a sunlit road towards their home, they encounter tourists, triggering Mr. Waring's irritation and Frances's fascination with new faces. A chance encounter with a stranger named Mannering sparks Frances's curiosity about her father's past, while also highlighting the deep-seated mysteries they both navigate in their secluded life. This tension builds as Frances grapples with her father’s unwillingness to share his history, leaving her torn between a desire for knowledge and her loyalty to the father she adores. The scene sets a rich foundation for exploring themes of identity, familial bonds, and the shadows of the past that linger in their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
