Summary: "An Old Man's Love" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story revolves around Mr. William Whittlestaff, a man of fifty who is contemplating his life and responsibilities, particularly concerning Mary Lawrie, a young woman whom he has taken into his home following the death of her stepmother. The book explores themes of love, age, social expectations, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mr. Whittlestaff at his country estate in Hampshire, where he reflects on a letter concerning Mary Lawrie's future. The letter informs him of her dire situation after her stepmother's passing, as she is left with the burden of becoming a governess despite being unprepared for it. Mr. Whittlestaff wrestles with his feelings and thoughts about bringing Mary into his household as a daughter or perhaps something more, revealing his internal conflict about age, attraction, and the societal norms that come into play. As he ultimately decides to invite Mary to live with him, the dynamic between Mr. Whittlestaff and the young woman becomes central, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of their intertwined fates.
