Résumé
"Narcissa or the Road to Rome" by Laura E. Richards is a narrative that intertwines dreams with the starkness of reality. The story begins with Narcissa, a young woman living a secluded life with her deaf uncle, Uncle Pinker, in an old gray house. Her life is marked by simplicity and a vivid imagination, where she dreams of splendid clothes and distant places, particularly Rome, which she envisions as a city of grandeur and beauty. Her life takes a turn when she meets Romulus Patten, a young tree-agent, who is charmed by her innocence and beauty. Narcissa, unaware of the true nature of the Rome in her vicinity, inadvertently sends Romulus on a journey to a place that is far from her imagined city of splendor. The narrative shifts as Narcissa learns the truth about Rome from a pedlar named Mrs. Transom, who reveals that the Rome nearby is a desolate place, not the city of her dreams. This revelation shatters Narcissa's illusions, prompting her to seek out Romulus to confess her unintended deception. The story culminates in a storm, both literal and metaphorical, as Narcissa braves the elements to find Romulus, leading to a heartfelt resolution where Romulus declares his intention to marry her. The tale concludes with a promise of a new beginning for Narcissa, away from the confines of her old life, as she finds love and companionship with Romulus.
