Summary: "Fardorougha, The Miser" by William Carleton is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book revolves around the character Fardorougha Donovan, a frugal and miserly man whose life is complicated by the birth of his first child after years of childlessness. The narrative delves into themes of avarice, parental love, and the struggle between materialism and affection as it explores the dynamics of the Donovan family and their interactions with the community. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Fardorougha Donovan and his wife, Honora, awaiting the arrival of their longed-for child. The opening scenes depict a midwife being summoned to assist Honora, and reveal Fardorougha's conflicting feelings as he grapples with his obsessive focus on money against the rising hope that comes with impending fatherhood. The tension between the couple emerges through their dialogues, as Honora expresses joy and anticipation while Fardorougha remains troubled by the financial implications of their new arrival. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how avarice shapes Fardorougha’s character and complicates the relationships within his family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
