Set in a small New England town, "The Fruit of the Tree" by Edith Wharton centers on the plight of the working class. The narrative follows John Amherst, a principled manager at a textile mill, who endeavors to better the lives of his laborers. His efforts are consistently thwarted by upper management, whose primary concern is profit. When Amherst marries Bessy Westmore, the widow of the former mill owner, he gains the opportunity to implement his progressive ideas.
