Summary: "The Frozen Deep" by Wilkie Collins is a novel written during the mid-19th century. It delves into a narrative woven with adventure, psychological intrigue, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of a Victorian-era Arctic expedition. The story revolves around key characters, including Clara Burnham, Mrs. Crayford, and Lieutenant Crayford, as they navigate themes of love, desire, and the supernatural amidst the imminent peril of an icy voyage. The opening of "The Frozen Deep" sets the scene at a grand ball celebrating the departure of an Arctic expedition, providing a lively introduction to the atmosphere of the time. Clara Burnham, a delicate woman deeply tied to Mrs. Crayford, emerges as a focal point when her mysterious affliction—hinted to involve superstitions of the Second Sight—raises concern among the attendees. The dialogue reveals her entangled past with Richard Wardour, who is eager to rekindle their relationship, despite her engagement to another man, Francis Aldersley. As the characters interact, tension builds around Clara's secret anxieties, setting the stage for a compelling drama that intertwines themes of duty, love, and fate against the icy wilderness they are set to explore.
