The Man

The Man by Bram Stoker is a Gothic romance that follows the life of Stephen Norman, the daughter of Squire Stephen Norman, the lord of the manor in Normanstead. Margaret Rowly marries Squire Stephen whom they raise as a tomboy, as the squire had always wanted a male a heir. Margaret dies, but the squire and Margaret's aunt Leatitia Roely, who moves in to help with the child, continue to allow miss Stephen to grow into a headstrong, dominant, free-thinking, and assertive force. Complicating the matter, the Harold van Wolf, son of one of Squire Stephen's friends, moves in with the squire after his father dies. A child mate, Leanard Everhardt, and miss Stephen explore a crypt where her ancestors are buried. Stephen collapses and Leonard carries her from the crypt, after which she is enamored with him. The two male characters lead to complications when Stephen comes of age. So who is "The Man" in the title. It could be any of the three.
