| Summary | "The Dominant Strain" by Anna Chapin Ray is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around the complex emotional lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Beatrix Dane, who faces a moral dilemma when considering her relationship with Sidney Lorimer. As social expectations and personal desires intertwine, the narrative likely delves into themes of love, loyalty, and the weight of social reputation. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Beatrix, who is engaged in a light yet tense conversation with her friend Sally about Sidney Lorimer, a man of interest to Beatrix. Beatrix grapples with her feelings about him and the implications of their relationship, especially in light of rumors surrounding Lorimer's past behavior. This internal conflict is hinted at when Beatrix expresses her concerns about Lorimer’s character, revealing the underlying tensions that will unfold as the narrative progresses. The intricacies of their circle of friends and social dynamics are established, setting the tone for the exploration of personal consequences and societal expectations throughout the book.
