"What Will He Do with It? — Volume 02" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around the characters Lionel Haughton and Guy Darrell, exploring themes of familial connections, social status, and personal identity against the backdrop of romantic and historical English landscapes. The opening chapters establish a rich setting, presenting a contrast between the primitive beauty of rural England and the complexities of the characters' lives. The beginning of the book introduces Lionel Haughton as he arrives at the secluded Fawley Manor House, owned by his cousin, Guy Darrell. Lionel's journey through the enchanting yet solitary countryside reflects his contemplative nature. Upon arrival, he is met with a mix of curiosity and apprehension regarding his acceptance into Darrell's world. The narrative delves into Darrell's character, marked by his imposing presence and unspoken sorrows, hinting at a past that weighs heavily upon him. As the two navigate their relationship, underlying tensions related to class and heritage emerge, particularly when Lionel learns about his family's history and the stigma attached to his mother, further deepening the emotional stakes for both characters.
