| Summary | "Charles Duran: Or, The Career of a Bad Boy" by the Author of "The Waldos" is a didactic tale written in the mid-19th century. It is a cautionary narrative that explores the life of Charles Duran, a boy whose lack of proper guidance and early indulgences lead him astray. The book examines themes of parental responsibility, the consequences of a wayward youth, and moral teachings about obedience and vice. The story follows Charles from birth to his untimely death, detailing the indulgent upbringing that fosters his bad habits and unruly behavior. Initially cherished by his parents, Charles grows increasingly rebellious, showing disregard for authority and engaging in destructive actions both at home and school. His actions culminate in a tragic night of debauchery at a village ball, where his excessive drinking leads to serious illness. Ultimately, Charles succumbs to his vices, leaving a poignant message about the devastating effects of neglecting discipline and moral training in youth. The narrative serves as a warning to young readers about the importance of adhering to good conduct and the perilous paths that can arise from disobedience and poor choices.
