| Summary | "Claude et Juliette" by Alfred Assollant is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set in Paris and revolves around themes of beauty and love, exploring the contrasts between inner worth and outward appearance through the lives of a grotesquely unattractive painter and a charming young woman. The narrative follows Claude, a talented yet profoundly disfigured painter, who struggles with feelings of inadequacy and despair due to his appearance. His life takes a turn when he intervenes to protect Juliette, a beautiful young girl, from an unwanted suitor. Their chance encounter blossoms into an affectionate bond, as Claude becomes enamored with her innocence and charm. Despite moments of joy and artistic inspiration, Claude grapples with his self-loathing and jealousy, particularly as he perceives Juliette’s growing affection for his more attractive friend, Buridan. Ultimately, Claude's tragic realization of unrequited love leads him down a path of despair, raising poignant questions about beauty, love, and the human condition.
