Summary | "The Well at the World's End: A Tale" by William Morris is a fantasy novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Ralph, the youngest son of King Peter, who longs to explore beyond the confines of his small kingdom, Upmeads. The narrative touches on themes of adventure, love, and the pursuit of a mythical well that represents hope and fulfillment. The opening of the novel introduces Ralph and his three brothers as they express their dissatisfaction with their sheltered lives. After a discussion with their father, King Peter, they decide to embark on separate journeys, each trying to shape their own destinies. Ralph, feeling the pull of adventure more strongly than the rest, is soon left alone when he is chosen to stay and assist his father. Despite this, he takes bold steps toward his own fate by secretly riding out to discover the world beyond Upmeads, setting the stage for the encounters and challenges he will face in the renowned Wood Perilous and beyond. This beginning lays a strong foundation for Ralph's quest, emphasizing his desire for freedom and deeper connections in the wider world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
