Description: Evangeline is Longfellow's masterpiece. The poem begins with the famous "forest primeval" . The reader is taken to the home of the Acadian farmers and the famous village reminescent of a variety of tradespeople. The work describes whole communities dispersed and separated from the homeland in the mid-1700s. Evangeline and Gabriel flee home and experience the pain of separation despite the fact that Gabriel seems to keep a step ahead during a major part of the story. The work attests to the beauty and strength of a woman's devotion. In many ways, our fate and destiny tend to be random events which are out of our immediate control. This work traces the fate of important characters living in a state of uncontrolled flux and uncertainty .
