The Little Dream: An Allegory in Six Scenes is a novel by John Galsworthy. The story is an allegory that explores the themes of love, power, and ambition. The novel is divided into six scenes, each of which represents a different stage in the life of the protagonist, Michael Mont. The story begins with Michael as a young boy who dreams of becoming a great artist. He falls in love with a beautiful girl named Muriel, but his ambitions to become an artist are hindered by his father's desire for him to become a lawyer. Despite his father's wishes, Michael continues to pursue his dreams and eventually becomes a successful artist. As Michael's career takes off, he becomes increasingly ambitious and begins to neglect his relationship with Muriel. He becomes involved in a love affair with a wealthy woman named Stella, who offers him the opportunity to advance his career even further. However, Michael soon realizes that his ambition has come at a cost, and he must make a choice between his career and the people he loves. The Little Dream is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Galsworthy's writing style is engaging and poetic, and the allegorical nature of the story adds an extra layer of depth and meaning. Overall, The Little Dream is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.SEELCHEN. [Rising to her knees, and stretching out her hands with ecstasy] Great One. I come!
