"Le Vicaire de Wakefield" by Oliver Goldsmith is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story centers around the character of Dr. Charles Primrose, an optimistic vicar of Wakefield, who navigates the trials and tribulations of family life, love, and misfortune while maintaining his moral integrity and simple values. The narrative explores themes of virtue, family dynamics, social class, and the contrast between wealth and true happiness. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dr. Primrose's idyllic family life, where he describes his loving wife and their six children. The vicar prides himself on the virtues of his family and their simple yet contented rural lifestyle. However, as the narrative unfolds, the family faces significant upheaval due to financial misfortune, which sets the stage for challenges that test their values and resolve. The opening establishes a warm, familial atmosphere while foreshadowing the hardships that the Primrose family will endure.
