| Summary | "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins is a novel written during the mid-19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. The story unfolds through multiple perspectives, beginning with Walter Hartright, a drawing teacher, and delves into themes of mystery, suspense, and the complexities of human relationships, centering around a mysterious woman in white. The opening of the novel introduces Walter Hartright, who is on his way to visit his family when he encounters a strange woman dressed in white late at night. This sudden meeting sparks questions not only about her identity but also the circumstances that led her to be alone on a dark road. As Walter attempts to assist her, it is revealed that she has escaped from an asylum, which heightens the intrigue surrounding her character. Following this encounter, Walter is invited to Limmeridge House to teach drawing to two young ladies, setting the stage for a tangled web of relationships and a haunting story of secrets waiting to be unraveled. The combination of gothic elements and the portrayal of societal norms of the time promise a gripping narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
