Summary | "'t Bedrijf van den kwade" by Herman Teirlinck is a fictional narrative set in the early 20th century. The novel centers around the character Goedele, a young woman navigating her inner life and familial relationships within a stagnant and oppressive household. The opening sets a moody atmosphere against the backdrop of a changing autumn landscape, hinting at themes of longing, dissatisfaction, and the complex dynamics of love and duty. The beginning of the story introduces Goedele as she gazes out the window, reflecting on her life and the looming changes with the arrival of her fiancé, Sebastiaan. We learn about her relationships with her family, especially her domineering mother, who carries a heavy burden of loss and responsibility. The text establishes a sense of melancholy, capturing Goedele's struggle with the constraints of her environment and her yearning for a different life. Through her thoughts and interactions, it becomes clear that she is caught between the expectations imposed by her family and her own desires, setting the stage for the emotional conflicts that will unfold throughout the narrative.
