Beschreibung

In What Will He Do with It? Volume 7, Edward Bulwer-Lytton explores themes of marriage, societal expectations, and personal aspirations within a rich social setting. The narrative centers on Darrell, who finds himself caught in a web of romantic intrigue with three very different women: one intelligent and thoughtful, another beautiful but emotionally distant, and a third, lively and independent, with a promising fortune. The story opens with a conversation between Darrell and a friend, where they discuss the virtues and drawbacks of potential romantic partners, offering contrasting perspectives on love and relationships. Their exchange reflects the societal pressures of the time, with both men contemplating the qualities that make a suitable companion or wife. As Darrell wrestles with internal conflicts regarding his own age, desirability, and the expectations placed upon him, the narrative hints at the deeper struggles between personal desire and the roles dictated by society. The shifting dynamics of romantic relationships, the impact of ambition, and the inevitable passage of time all play a central role in this volume. It sets the stage for a drama that will explore the complexities of love, self-worth, and the choices that define personal fulfillment and societal standing.
