Summary "Papa Bouchard" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Monsieur Paul Bouchard, who has lived a life of quiet subservience under the watch of his sister Céleste. The narrative hints at themes of independence and the breaking from societal conventions as it introduces the character of Pierre, Bouchard's valet, along with a lively parrot named Pierrot, both of whom begin to reflect on their own desires for freedom. The opening of the novel sets the stage in the serene Rue Clarisse in Paris, where a sudden shift occurs with the escape of Pierrot the parrot, which prompts Monsieur Bouchard to seek a new apartment in a more vibrant area. As he prepares to break the news to his protective sister, the reader is introduced to the humorous and complex dynamics of familial relationships, duty, and desires for personal enjoyment. This foundational scenario lays the groundwork for Monsieur Bouchard's journey towards self-discovery and potentially unrestrained living, alongside the slice-of-life characters that color his experience.
