Summary "The Survivor" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and personal rebellion through the life of its protagonist, Douglas Guest, a young man ensnared by the obligations imposed by his powerful uncle, Gideon Strong. The story begins with Douglas becoming the pastor of a village chapel, despite feeling stifled by the mundane and oppressive life that is being thrust upon him. At the start of the narrative, we see Douglas struggling with the weight of tradition and familial duty, particularly as he is coerced into marrying his cousin Joan Strong. The opening scenes depict his disillusionment as he witnesses the stark contrasts between his spiritual aspirations and the grim realities of his life. Encounters with a free-spirited woman and interactions with various local characters set the stage for his inner turmoil and desire for freedom, which compels him to seek a new life in London. This initial section foreshadows his transformation and the pivotal choices he will make in pursuit of personal agency amidst the constraints of his past.
