| Summary | "Hagar" by Mary Johnston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Hagar Ashendyne, who experiences the complexities of life within her family and society, particularly as they pertain to concepts of morality, individuality, and the constraints imposed on women. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Hagar, a dark-haired, thoughtful girl, as she travels on a packet boat with her family and engages in curious conversations about literature and the world. Through her interactions with her Aunt Serena and the other passengers, we catch glimpses of her inquisitive nature and reflections on society's restrictions, particularly concerning women’s education and freedom. As she ponders over ideas like evolution and confronts the harsh realities of her environment—including a convict she observes from the boat—Hagar's longing for knowledge and understanding shines through, setting the stage for her growth throughout the story. The atmosphere is rich with the social dynamics of her family and the changing world around them, laying a foundation for Hagar's journey towards self-discovery.
