Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Misfortune is a novel written by Wesley Stace, also known as John Wesley Harding. The story follows the life of a baby found abandoned in the road by the wealthiest man in England, Geoffroy Loveall, who then takes the child home to raise as his own. The baby, named Rose Loveall, lives a privileged and happy life with her mother and father and two best friends, until a dramatic reveal is made to her and her family that changes her life forever. The novels deals with issues of womanhood, the nature of gender and sexuality, and the experiences of the rich and the impoverished, all while making homage to Greek and Roman mythology along the way. | |

Ambiguous Gender Identity | |
| Misfortune / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Rose. Although she spends the majority of the novel struggling to understand her own gender identity and coming to terms with it, the reader is never really made privy to how she identifies, likely due to a lack of terminology for different genders at the time. The only clue we are given is that she openly expresses her difficulty with posing as a man while speaking to Prudence, and continues to use the name Rose and she/her pronouns even on her death bed. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Misfortune / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: From a certain viewpoint, every parent in the story is this. Geoffroy spends much of his time cooped up in his playroom, rarely spending time with Rose. Anonyma was the mastermind behind raising Rose as a cisgender girl, partially to satiate the depressed Geoffroy, but mainly to enact a social experiment of sorts on her own child. The Osberns harass and bully their children at every turn. Even Lady Loveall, who dies early in the story, is depicted yelling at Geoffroy, expressing disgust at his need to mourn his younger sister, and, after discovering the truth of Rose's sex, laughs Geoffroy out of the room, yelling after him that nothing he does works, before dying. | |
