Summary "The Tyranny of the Dark" by Hamlin Garland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to explore the complex interplay between the constraints of societal expectations and the quest for personal freedom, particularly through the character of Viola Lambert, a young woman caught between her aspirations for a musical career and the oppressive influences of those around her, including a mysterious clergyman. At the start of the tale, the reader is introduced to Colorow, a small village surrounded by majestic mountains. Viola, who is depicted as longing for adventure and artistic expression, encounters a stranger, Dr. Serviss, who is captivated by her beauty and spirit. Their meeting unfolds against the backdrop of Viola's challenging relationships, especially with her manipulative pastor, Anthony Clarke, and her mother, who harbors her own ambitions intertwined with Viola's fate. The opening chapters set the stage for an exploration of themes such as repression, individuality, and the tension between light and darkness, as Viola navigates her desires amidst external pressures.
