Summary "The Dawn of a To-morrow" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story begins with the bleak and disconcerting awakening of Antony Dart, a troubled man grappling with despair and contemplating suicide against the oppressive backdrop of a London fog. The narrative explores themes of mental anguish, societal desolation, and the possibility of redemption through human connection as Dart encounters other lost souls during his harrowing journey. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Antony Dart, who is trapped in a cycle of hopelessness and confusion, plagued by sleepless nights and disillusionment. As he prepares to end his life, a series of unexpected events reflect the harsh realities of urban life. Dart’s encounter with a scrappy young girl named Glad, who represents resilience and surviving spirit, interrupts his grim intentions. Their conversation reveals a glimpse of humanity amidst hardship, as she expresses her hope and playful spirit despite her dire circumstances. The opening portion sets the stage for a transformative journey, suggesting that even in the depths of despair, connections with others can illuminate a path toward hope and renewal.
