Summary "The Black Robe" by Wilkie Collins is a novel written during the late 19th century. This intricate tale weaves themes of moral complexity, personal struggle, and societal critique through the lives of its characters, most notably Lewis Romayne, a young heir grappling with the consequences of a duel and the potentialWeight of his actions. At the start of the narrative, we meet Romayne as he is summoned to accompany his ailing aunt on a Channel crossing. His initial reluctance and frustration reveal character traits that hint at deeper emotional turmoil. The opening portion sets the stage for his journey, not just physically to Boulogne but also into a world filled with moral dilemmas that will test his resolve and lead to a fateful confrontation following a card game. The narrative unfolds through a series of encounters that highlight Romayne's evolving perceptions of honor, guilt, and the consequences of violence, foreshadowing the dark themes that will permeate the story.
