- Student Commentary:
- The man to the left is playing a harp in a hut in this image from Wollstonecraft’s Original Stories from Real Life. The woman, Mrs. Mason, is following the sound after an accident to her carriage. In the background are the ruins of a building and a garden. In the accompanying story, which Mrs. Mason tells to her two young charges, she learns that the man has suffered numerous misfortunes at the hand of a tyrant. In compassion and gratitude for the man’s hospitality, Mrs. Mason helps him make a new start in life.
