Omschrijving

Discipline by Mary Brunton is a novel that delves into the life of Ellen, a beautiful and wealthy young woman who, despite her good-hearted nature and intelligence, becomes rebellious and self-indulgent as she grows older. Her reckless behavior eventually catches up with her. Her flirtations endanger her social reputation, and the family's financial ruin adds to her troubles. When her father loses his fortune and takes his own life in despair, Ellen is left alone, disgraced, and nearly penniless. The tragedy forces her to face the consequences of her actions and confront her flaws. The novel follows Ellen's journey toward personal growth and redemption. She begins to learn the importance of self-discipline, moral responsibility, and inner strength. Discipline ultimately portrays Ellen's transformation from a self-centered young woman to a more self-aware and responsible person, underscoring the value of personal integrity and self-control. Discipline also critiques the rigid social structures and the limited options available to women, while exploring the consequences of lack of self-discipline on both personal and social levels. Through the character's development, Brunton encourages the importance of moral fortitude and self-control in a world that can often feel confining and oppressive.
