Summary "Ariadne" by Henry Gréville is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Ariadne Ranine, a talented but impoverished student in a girls' institute, who struggles against societal constraints while pursuing her passion for singing. As she faces ridicule and potential expulsion, her talent becomes a focal point in a conflict between personal desire and institutional authority." "The opening of the novel introduces Ariadne in her classroom during a history lesson at an institute for girls, where a sudden outburst of song from her disrupts the lesson. This prompts a mix of horror and amusement among her peers and instructors, setting the tone for her character as one who is passionate yet misunderstood. Following the incident, Ariadne experiences isolation but also enjoys a brief moment of attention from her classmates, which reveals her longing for connection. The narrative further explores her internal struggles with her situation as an orphan and her deep yearning to sing, creating a backdrop for her journey throughout the book."
