Summary "Captain Margaret" by John Masefield is a novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Captain Charles Margaret, owner of the ship "Broken Heart", who is deeply affected by the love of a woman named Olivia. Set against a maritime backdrop, the narrative explores themes of love, loss, and adventure as Margaret embarks on a significant journey after a painful farewell. The opening of the story establishes the atmosphere aboard the "Broken Heart", showcasing the ship and its crew in the early morning light as they prepare for departure. The character of Edward Perrin is introduced as a devoted friend to Captain Margaret, who is burdened by his own health issues and a sense of lost vitality. The narrative hints at Captain Margaret's tumultuous past with Olivia, emphasizing his unyielding affection and the heartache of her marriage to Tom Stukeley, a man who embodies crude charm. As the story unfolds, the tension builds around a fateful decision for Margaret — to confront his past and see Olivia one last time despite the risks involved in their intertwined fates. This setup promises an exploration of complex emotions and the call of the sea, likely driving the characters towards unforeseen adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
