Title An Eye for an Eye
Credits E-text prepared by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D.
Summary "An Eye for an Eye" by Anthony Trollope is a Victorian novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, morality, and societal expectations, centering around the dramatic story of Fred Neville, the heir to an earldom, who becomes entangled in a complicated situation involving a young woman named Miss O'Hara and the repercussions of his actions. The narrative is anticipated to delve into the conflicts between familial duty, personal desire, and the pressing weight of societal judgement. The opening of the novel introduces a tragic background, starting with an unfortunate lady in an asylum reminiscing about her past, hinting at themes of madness, regret, and the search for justification. We then shift to Scroope Manor, where the elderly Earl waits for the return of his heir, Fred Neville, who arrives from the army. The tension builds as Fred navigates expectations from both his family and potential suitors while beginning to form a connection with the enchanting Miss O'Hara, a young woman of mysterious and potentially scandalous origins. The reader can sense the looming conflict between Fred's emerging affections and the deep concerns of Lady Scroope regarding societal norms and family honor, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of love and its consequences.
