"Ruth" is a poignant novella by Elizabeth Gaskell that explores the life of a young woman who becomes a victim of societal judgment and moral hypocrisy. The story follows Ruth Hilton, a beautiful and innocent orphan, who falls into the clutches of seduction by a charming yet unscrupulous man. After experiencing hardship and rejection, Ruth seeks refuge in a nearby village where she tries to rebuild her life as a seamstress. Gaskell delves into themes of redemption, compassion, and the harsh realities faced by women in the 19th century, shedding light on the struggles of those marginalized by society.
