| Summary | "Mothwise" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ove Rolandsen, a telegraph operator in a small Norwegian village who finds himself entangled in a web of love, social intrigue, and aspirations. The narrative explores his relationships with various characters, including his betrothed, Marie van Loos, and his infatuation with the alluring Elise Mack, as he grapples with his ambitions and the impact of spring on his heart. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Marie van Loos, who is watching Ove Rolandsen and Olga, the parish clerk’s daughter, in what she suspects is a budding romance. As excitement builds in the village with the arrival of a new priest and his wealthy wife, Rolandsen exhibits a blend of humor and bravado as he tries to navigate his feelings for both women. The opening chapters set the stage for exploring themes of love and class dynamics while showcasing Rolandsen's aspirations for both personal and professional success, hinting at the intricate and humorous entanglements that lie ahead.
