This book that narrates about the course of life of Edna Earl from her birth till she grows up may be called a classical book of the Victorian epoch. The main character Edna Earl has strong moral values and believes that everyone should respect the norms of the society and the way of life. She is also a very strong person with a strong core inside. It results into spiritual reawakening of St. Elmo. At first he was a miserable person who led an ordinary life containing all human vices.
