Host: The Butterfly Princess, guiding dialogue on literature’s power to foster empathy.
Theme: Ruth (1853)—a bold critique of Victorian hypocrisy—centers on a “fallen” seamstress ostracized for her pregnancy. Gaskell challenges societal cruelty, portraying Ruth’s quiet resilience and redemption through compassion.
Key Discussion Points:
1. Moral Hypocrisy: Contrast Ruth’s condemnation with male privilege and class-based corruption.
2. Silent Strength: Ruth’s defiance lies in integrity, not rebellion, culminating in selfless service during a typhus outbreak.
3. Modern Echoes: Parallels to gender shaming, economic vulnerability, and redemption narratives (e.g., #MeToo).
Pedagogical Vision: The Academy urges attendees to confront biases and embrace complexity, asking: How do we judge “sin” vs. systemic harm?
Join the Flight: Engage in a transformative dialogue bridging 19th-century literature and contemporary ethics. “Unfold Ruth’s wings,” as the Butterfly Princess says, “and confront our capacity for grace.”
