Aunt Hadoula – in Alexander Papadiamantis' "Fonissa" – is leaning over a baby's cradle, contemplating. In the cradle lies a sick girl, who a few days earlier was born by her daughter Delharo.
It is nighttime; even the first crowing of the rooster, at the moment when "the memories," as the author says, "come like ghosts." And Aunt Hadoula is reflecting on her early life. A woman's life and a slave's life.
From her infancy, she served her parents. When she married, she became a slave to her husband. When she had children, she became a maid to her children. When her children had children, she became a servant to her grandchildren.
But two or three nights, above the cradle of the sick girl, passes before her the entire sorrowful procession of women of her generation. All miserable and weak creatures, marked with a tragic seal from life.
