Summary "Manslaughter" by Alice Duer Miller is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lydia Thorne, a strong-willed and independent young woman, and her complex interactions with those around her, particularly her guardian, Miss Bennett, and her social circle, including Bobby Dorset and the district attorney, Dan O'Bannon. The narrative begins to unfold the dynamics of Lydia's relationships and her struggle to assert her individuality in a society filled with expectations and constraints. At the start of "Manslaughter," Lydia is depicted as a spirited character, unafraid to express her opinions and desires, even in the face of societal norms. The chapter opens with a vivid recollection of an incident from her childhood involving a struggle between her and her father, showcasing her indomitable spirit. The scene quickly shifts to a current tension between Lydia and Miss Bennett, revealing their contrasting views on social obligations and morality. As the chapter progresses, we see Lydia's interactions with Bobby and Eleanor, hinting at a budding attraction and further complicating her social endeavors. The narrative hints at themes of personal freedom and the conflicts arising from self-assertion versus societal expectations, setting the stage for deeper explorations of these characters.
