Summary "A Man Made of Money" by Douglas William Jerrold is a comedic novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Solomon Jericho, a man trapped in financial troubles and marital discontent, as he grapples with the relentless demands of his wife, Mrs. Jericho, for money amidst their mounting debts. The book explores themes of social status, the burdens of marriage, and the absurdities of self-deception in the pursuit of a wealthier appearance. At the start of the narrative, the tension between Mr. and Mrs. Jericho is palpable as the latter demands money from her husband. The story unfolds with humorous exchanges between the couple, revealing Mr. Jericho's struggles with financial insecurity and his attempts to maintain a façade of wealth. As Mr. Jericho contemplates his predicament, he envisions his responsibilities pulling him in different directions, leading to conflicts that highlight the couple's complex relationship. The opening sets the stage for a domestic comedy rife with misunderstandings, financial dilemmas, and the clash between appearance and reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
