"Married or Single?, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by B. M. Croker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Madeline West, a young girl who finds herself in a precarious situation after her family falls into financial ruin and she is forced to assume the role of a pupil-teacher at a boarding school. As Madeline navigates her new life, she grapples with her feelings about love, loss, and societal expectations, setting the stage for her transformation throughout the narrative. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Madeline West, who has recently transitioned from being a pampered student at Mrs. Harper's establishment to a disheartened pupil-teacher, burdened with the duties of household chores and the care of younger girls. Madeline's once bright disposition dims as she reflects on her father's long absence and the harsh realities of her current life. The opening scenes establish her friendship with Florence, a fellow boarder, and highlight the dynamics at Harperton, particularly the oppressive and judgmental nature of Mrs. Harper and her daughters. As Madeline comes to terms with her new status, her internal struggles are revealed, foreshadowing her journey toward self-discovery and the complexities of her relationships with others, especially with the men who take notice of her.
