Summary "The Naturewoman" by Upton Sinclair is a dramatic play written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the character Oceana, who has returned from a tropical island life to live with her relatives in Boston. The play explores the clash between Oceana's wild, unrefined nature and the restrictive social conventions of her new environment, highlighting themes of individuality, freedom, and the impact of civilization on natural instincts. The opening of the play introduces the Masterson family eagerly awaiting the arrival of their cousin Oceana, who has spent her formative years on a remote island in the South Seas. Through a lively dialogue among the family members, their mixed reactions to her imminent arrival are revealed, depicting a blend of curiosity, skepticism, and concern. Ethel, one of the younger characters who longs for freedom and excitement, particularly admires Oceana. As the family discusses their expectations of her and the inheritance tied to her return, the stage is set for a larger commentary on identity and the tensions between the constraints of society and the freedom of nature. The joyous and vibrant anticipation of Oceana’s unique perspective contrasts sharply with the stifling atmosphere of her relatives’ lives, hinting at the conflicts to unfold as her character is revealed.
