| Summary | "Victor, ou L'enfant de la forêt" by M. Ducray-Duminil is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story revolves around Victor, a young man raised by the benevolent Baron de Fritzierne, who grapples with his love for Clémence, the baron's daughter, while fearing his status as an orphan set apart from her. As he contemplates his feelings amid the backdrop of his benefactor's kindness, the book explores themes of love, virtue, and the complexities of social class. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Victor's emotional turmoil as he reflects on his love for Clémence while wrestling with feelings of unworthiness due to his unknown parentage. He is deeply troubled by the fear of ungratefulness and the potential consequences of revealing his feelings—especially given the socially restrictive environment imposed by his upbringing. Shortly into the narrative, Victor's altruistic nature is showcased when he risks his own safety to save a woman, madame Wolf, and her adopted son from a group of brigands. This act of heroism brings madame Wolf and her child into the baron's household, intertwining the lives of these characters as Victor battles his tumultuous emotions, ultimately setting the stage for deeper conflicts ahead.
