Summary: "Sacred and Profane Love: A Novel in Three Episodes" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of the Edwardian era. The narrative likely explores themes of love, passion, and societal expectations, centered on the experiences of the main character, Carlotta, as she navigates her emotional life and the complexities of her relationships, particularly with a celebrated pianist named Diaz. At the start of the story, Carlotta is introduced in a poignant moment right before her twenty-first birthday, where she is deeply immersed in her feelings and reflections on love. The opening scene sets the tone in a decaying yet beautiful drawing-room, revealing her introspective nature and emotional turmoil. The narrative unfolds as she learns that her aunt, her primary caretaker, cannot attend a concert she has eagerly anticipated. This news sends Carlotta into a state of inner conflict where feelings of rebellion and longing for freedom converge. As she ultimately defies her aunt's wishes to attend the concert, we witness her profound connection to Diaz, leading to an encounter that marks a pivotal moment in her life. The opening effectively captures Carlotta's initial innocence and her complex emotional evolution as she embarks on a journey fraught with both ecstasy and consequence.
