The story begins with the duchess Maria d'Eleda embarking on a journey to Palermo with her husband, the duke Prospero Anatolio. However, the emotional turmoil she faces suggests deeper themes of love, societal pressures, and personal sacrifice, particularly as Maria grapples with her feelings for another man, the count Giorgio Della Valle. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the emotional landscape of Maria and her husband during their departure. While the duke expresses his sorrow for leaving his children behind, Maria remains composed on the surface, though she internally battles her anguish and fears. Through vivid descriptions and interactions, the author sets a stage for the conflicts that arise from societal expectations and personal desires, highlighting Maria's struggle between her duties as a wife and her feelings towards Giorgio. This opening not only establishes the main characters but also hints at the complexities of their relationships that will unfold throughout the novel.
