Summary "Historie van Mejuffrouw Sara Burgerhart" by Betje Wolff and Aagje Deken is a novel written during the late 18th century. This work is regarded as a significant contribution to Dutch literature and follows the life of the titular character, Sara Burgerhart, as she navigates societal expectations and personal struggles, particularly her relationship with her overbearing aunt and her quest for independence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sara Burgerhart and sets the stage for her trials. It begins with Sara's reflections on her difficult living situation with her aunt, who imposes strict and harsh rules. In her correspondence with her guardian, Abraham Blankaart, and friends, Sara reveals her dissatisfaction and longing for freedom. Her letters convey her intelligence, spirit, and desire for a life filled with joy and self-expression, highlighting the constraints she faces in her current situation. The beginning effectively establishes Sara's character as one who values autonomy and happiness, promising a narrative that will explore themes of self-discovery and resilience amidst societal norms.
