Summary: "Le mariage de Gabrielle" by Daniel Lesueur is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around René de Laverdie, a young nobleman who has lost his fortune due to his reckless gambling, and his friend Alphonse de Linières, who is concerned for him. Central to the plot is the theme of social status, as René contemplates marrying Gabrielle Duriez, a bourgeois girl, to restore his financial situation. The opening of the novel sets an anxious scene, introducing the characters in a richly adorned high Gothic bedroom where Alphonse arrives to check on René. Alphonse's worry is palpable as he fears for his friend’s mental state following a disastrous night of gambling. The spacious and ornate details of René's room are juxtaposed with the despair of his financial ruin. As René awakens, he humorously deflects the dire situation, trying to maintain a facade of ease despite his losses. This initial interaction between the two friends establishes the central tension between their differing attitudes toward life and duty, setting the stage for the unfolding drama regarding love, class, and the possible marriage to Gabrielle.
