"Eris" by Robert W. Chambers is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the life of a girl named Eris, who grapples with her identity and aspirations amidst the backdrop of her family, farm life, and societal expectations. The story begins with her birth and unfolds the tensions and struggles of her parents, particularly her father, Elmer Odell, who yearns for sons to help with the farm instead of the daughter he receives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Odell family as Elmer navigates his disappointment with having a daughter after twenty years of marriage without children. After Fanny, Eris's mother, gives birth under difficult circumstances, she ultimately passes away, and Eris becomes a focal point for her father's frustrations and unfulfilled desires. As Eris grows, she exhibits a keen curiosity about the world beyond her rural life, and an aspiration to pursue the arts—a journey that leads her away from the constricting expectations of her family. The opening portion of the book establishes a tense family dynamic, hints at themes of discord and aspiration, and sets the stage for Eris's struggle between her identity as "the daughter of discord" and her ambition to learn and grow beyond her environment.
