What is the theme in The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall?

Acceptance is another theme in the book. Stephen Gordon wants nothing more from the people around her than acceptance. Stephen has known since she was a small child that she is not like most girls. Stephen dresses differently, feels differently, and loves differently. These differences create a social barrier that Stephen cannot overcome. Neighbors gossip about Stephen, even those who have known her since she was a small child. Strangers point and whisper. Even people in her own home, invited guests talk about Stephen behind her back as though she were a clown inviting gossip.
