Sobre IBD

The novel 'The Debtor' was written by American novelist Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, who is renowned for her exploration of rural New England life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 1893 publication explores themes of personal decisions, societal expectations, and the effects of financial reliance. The protagonist of the tale is Lydia Blood, a young lady from a tiny New England town who is betrothed to affluent attorney Aaron Boynton. However the Boynton family has financial hardship, and Aaron accumulates debt. When Lydia’s feelings and societal norms collide, she must make a difficult choice. Freeman examines the limitations imposed on people by cultural standards and the expectations surrounding marriage and financial security as the story progresses. 'The Debtor' presents a complex portrait of the difficulties people encounter in balancing their pursuit of pleasure and fulfilment with societal expectations, the intricacies of relationships, and the influence of financial circumstances on individual decisions.
