The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter

In this story, of course, it is quite clear that these fathers have not done right by their daughters at all. But that is not what matters; what matter is how each woman is able to distinguish and separate herself from her father???s legacy, no matter how much that legacy continues to control her in the story???s present. This is especially true in the case of Diana, Justine, Beatrice, and Catherine: for them, there is no escaping their fathers??? legacy, for they are that legacy, for better or for worse. Despite that, though, they try their best, each in her own way, to live with their lot in life and make the best out of it. Their fathers will forever exert an influence on their lives, but that does not mean they cannot carve a slice of freedom and joy out of the world now that they are (mostly) free of their fathers??? control. This is as true in fiction as it is in the real world: sometimes all a person can really do is to break away, and find such happiness as he or she can, making the best of what already is.
