Summary "Ansa" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story serves as a vivid portrayal of the working-class life in Paris during the Second Empire, focusing particularly on the hardships faced by families. The main character, Gervaise, navigates her struggles with her partner Lantier while trying to raise their two children amidst the challenges of poverty and societal decay. The opening of "Ansa" introduces Gervaise waiting anxiously for her partner, Lantier, who has been absent for several nights. Her restlessness and despair are palpable as she reflects on their deteriorating living conditions and Lantier's neglect. As she anxiously watches the bustling street below, she is confronted with the harsh realities of their environment and the burden of two children. Her hopes for a stable future weaken when she learns Lantier's true whereabouts, leading to a tumultuous emotional exchange between the couple, which sets the stage for the unfolding drama centered on their family life and societal pressures.
