| Summary | "Ghislaine" by Hector Malot is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Ghislaine, a young woman navigating her newfound emancipation as she turns eighteen and grapples with the complexities of her relationships and future, particularly in connection with her guardian, the comte de Chambrais. At the start of the novel, we find Ghislaine at a significant moment in her life, attending a family council to discuss her emancipation. This pivotal event is colored by her interactions with her guardian and the curious presence of lady Cappadoce, her somewhat overbearing governess. The atmosphere is filled with tension as Ghislaine becomes aware of her position in society and the expectations surrounding her—especially regarding marriage. As Ghislaine contemplates her freedom, she also begins to entertain thoughts of her future, including the possibility of marriage, leading her to reflect on past relationships and setting the stage for the character dynamics that will unfold throughout the narrative.
