| Summary |
"Miss Harriet" by Guy de Maupassant is a novella written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a young man who is wandering along the Normandy coast and becomes intrigued by Miss Harriet, an eccentric Englishwoman living in a small village. The story explores themes of isolation, love, and the complexities of human connection. At the start of the story, the protagonist describes his early morning journey with several fellow travelers to see the ruins of Tancarville. The passengers, including the young Baroness de Sérenne and the elderly painter Léon Chenal, engage in light conversation as the landscape awakens around them. The protagonist is captivated by the odd Miss Harriet, an isolated Englishwoman known for her peculiar habits and fervent spirituality. As the young man observes her interactions and growing eccentricity, he becomes drawn into her enigmatic world, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and the nature of their connection.
