Summary "Fidelity: A Novel" by Susan Glaspell is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The novel revolves around complex relationships and emotional turmoil, primarily focusing on the characters of Ruth Holland, a young woman whose life is intertwined with her friendships and a troubled romantic past, and Deane Franklin, her close companion who grapples with his feelings for Ruth amidst societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces a gathering of friends as they navigate seemingly trivial conversations. Doctor Deane Franklin observes the group's conversations diverting, especially when Ruth's name arises, illuminating an underlying tension regarding her absence and estrangement from the community. As Deane reflects on past relationships and changes in people around him, he begins to feel a mix of fondness and unresolved issues stemming from Ruth's situation, hinting at the deeper emotional struggles that will unfold throughout the story. The early exchanges set the stage for a conflict between social mores and personal desires, foreshadowing the complex dynamics that will arise as the narrative progresses.
