Chance
Joseph Conrad
In Conrad's Chance (1913), Marlow again narrate the story as an observer. The story's unusual female protagonist is the most complex of Conrad's heroines, Flora de Barral, a damsel distressed by the neglect of her bankrupt father and rejection from her governess. Tragedy and transformation ensue when she takes refuge at sea on Captain Anthony's ship. Chance is a psychologically penetrating portrait of her transformation from vulnerability to self-respect.
