| Summary | "The Triumph Of Night" by Edith Wharton is a novella written in the early 20th century that explores themes of isolation, fate, and the moral complexities of human relationships. The story revolves around the events that unfold during a winter night in a remote New Hampshire village, highlighting the interactions of the protagonist, George Faxon, with various characters such as the affluent but enigmatic John Lavington and his ailing nephew, Frank Rainer. The plot begins with George Faxon's arrival at Northridge Junction, where he finds himself stranded in the harsh winter landscape. After a chance meeting with Frank Rainer, he is invited to stay at Overdale, Rainer's uncle's extravagant home. As the evening progresses, the atmosphere grows increasingly tense and foreboding, culminating in an unsettling revelation that implicates Rainer in an unspecified danger. When Faxon witnesses a mysterious and menacing presence lurking behind Lavington, he is wracked with dread over Rainer's fate. The story ultimately delves into themes of guilt and responsibility, as Faxon grapples with the implications of his choices that may have cost a young man his life, revealing the tragic consequences of ignoring moral calls for action.
