| | Etiquetas: | clásicos drama romance amor romántica sociedad | | Resumen: | Mary Barton begins in the fields outside Manchester, where two families meet after enjoying a holiday. George and Jane Wilson carry their twin babies, while John Barton accompanies his heavily pregnant wife, Mary. Their 13-year-old daughter, also named Mary, plays nearby. Wilson and Barton invite their wives to sit and chat, while the two men take a walk and discuss Mary’s sister, Esther, who ran away from home few nights earlier. John believes that Esther is rotten because her factory wages have given her an unhealthy amount of independence. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Jem Wilson runs by and snatches a kiss from Mary, who slaps his face. The families head to the Barton house to have tea and Mary sends her daughter for provisions and to invite Alice Wilson, George’s sister, who works as a sick-nurse. Later that night, Mrs. Barton and her baby die in childbirth, possibly due to "a shock to her system" - namely, Esther’s disappearance.
Three years later, Mary becomes an apprentice dress-maker and John Barton involves himself heavily in the Trades’ Union. A year later, Alice introduces Mary, now seventeen and very beautiful, to Margaret Jennings and her grandfather Job Legh. The girls become good friends. Mary learns that Margaret is going blind, but she has a chance to sing for a living instead of sewing, which has become increasingly difficult for her. Meanwhile, Mary attracts the attentions of a wealthy mill-owner’s son, Harry Carson. Mary barely speaks to Jem even though he is in love with her. |
