"Ruth" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell follows the life of a young woman named Ruth Hilton, who, after being seduced and abandoned by a wealthy man, finds herself in a precarious situation. After facing societal judgment and ostracism, Ruth is taken in by a kind-hearted nonconformist, Mr. Bellingham, who offers her a path to redemption. As she navigates the complexities of her past and the moral dilemmas of her present, Ruth strives to re-establish herself in society while grappling with themes of morality, forgiveness, and the transformative power of love. The novel challenges Victorian norms regarding gender and social class. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
