Seven Wives and Seven Prisons
Or, Experiences in the Life of a Matrimonial Monomaniac. A True Story
Produced by Charles Aldarondo, and David Widger
"Seven Wives and Seven Prisons" by L. A. Abbott is a true autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the tumultuous life of a man who, due to his experiences with numerous wives, finds himself imprisoned multiple times. The narrative delves into issues of love, betrayal, and the complexities of marriage in his quest for happiness. The opening portion of the memoir introduces the author's early life in New York, discussing his upbringing and his first marriage at a young age. He reflects on the unworthy nature of his first wife, leading to their eventual separation. A series of unfortunate events follow, including a trial for forgery that he unwittingly becomes embroiled in due to a forgery committed by a relative. As he navigates the consequences of his romantic decisions, readers gain insight into his character—his optimism despite the adversities he faces and his continual pursuit of love, often at great personal cost. The stage is set for a life filled with both passion and peril, characterized by the author's relentless cycle of marriages and incarcerations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
