Summary "Marriage" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities of relationships and societal expectations surrounding marriage through the perspective of the protagonist, Marjorie Pope, a young woman navigating her feelings and the pressures of family and romance. It delves into themes of love, personal desire, and the conflicts between traditional values and modern sensibilities. The opening of "Marriage" introduces us to Marjorie Pope as she embarks on a train journey to her family's summer retreat in Buryhamstreet. As she travels, vivid descriptions capture her reflections on her appearance and social status, hinting at her aspirations and vulnerabilities. We learn about her background, including her father's transition from a once-prominent coach-builder to an irascible retiree, and the contrasting wealth of her recent acquaintances. The chapter sets the stage for Marjorie's inner struggles with her identity, her family's expectations, and her emerging feelings about the prospect of marriage, particularly in the context of her acquaintance with Will Magnet, a humorist who holds significance for her future.
