| Summary | "La Manifestante" by Léon Frapié is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the Dovrigny family, particularly their son Adolphe, who finds himself caught between his family's expectations and his feelings for a young office clerk, Mathilde Anriquet. The conflict between social conventions, family honor, and personal desire sets the stage for the unfolding drama. The opening of the novel introduces the Dovrigny family as respectable but somewhat traditional, highlighting their desire to secure a prestigious match for their son who has surprising feelings for someone they see as unsuitable. As Adolphe's affection for Mathilde grows, so does the tension with his parents, who have their sights set on a wealthier, socially acceptable match. The narrative hints at themes of love, class disparity, and societal expectations, particularly in the context of the family's reaction to Mathilde's bold act of solidarity towards a controversial figure in a sensational court case. The stage is set for a deeper exploration of these themes as the characters navigate their contrasting values and desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
