| Summary | "The Beauty" by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Perdita Carey, a stunningly beautiful young woman who marries the wealthy Cresswell Hepworth, an influential millionaire. The novel explores themes of societal expectation, personal aspiration, and the dichotomy between wealth and true happiness in Perdita's life. At the start of the narrative, the wedding of Perdita and Hepworth is the focus, highlighting the curiosity and speculation of their social circle regarding the mysterious bride. Although Perdita captivates attention with her unassuming yet enchanting beauty during the ceremony, the guests express mixed feelings about her background and their evolving relationships with the newlyweds. As the story unfolds, Perdita is portrayed as a complex character wrestling with the limitations of her new life and insights into her desires, reflecting on her past connection with Eugene Gresham, an artist who had once painted her. The opening sets the stage for her internal struggle between the allure of wealth and the pursuit of genuine passion and freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
