Summary "Mortal Coils" by Aldous Huxley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Mr. Hutton, a man embroiled in complex emotional entanglements, including a strained marriage and a flirtation with a younger woman. Central themes include the exploration of relationships, the nature of happiness, and the human condition. The interactions between Hutton and various female characters, particularly his wife Emily and Janet Spence, reveal tensions and conflicts highlighting the intricacies of love and desire. At the start of the narrative, Mr. Hutton arrives at Janet Spence’s home, where he reflects on her pretentious artistic tastes while grappling with his own self-image and loneliness. His conversation with Janet reveals their dynamic; she embodies an intellectual allure that he both admires and ridicules. Hutton's struggle with the discontent in his marriage to Emily unfolds through a series of dialogues that expose his emotional conflicts and desires. The scene shifts from light-hearted banter to somber reflections on life and love, indicating the complexities of human relationships that Huxley aims to unravel throughout the story.
