Summary: "Vanhanpojan moraali" by William John Locke is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Marcus Ordeyne, a man reflecting on his life and newfound freedom after learning about the tragic death of his family, which unexpectedly elevates him to the head of the family. As he navigates his complex relationships with various characters, including his ambitious aunt and two lively cousins, the theme of self-discovery and the societal pressures of marriage and duty loom large. At the start of the story, Marcus is in Verona, documenting his remarkable adventures six months after his liberation from a life of teaching. The opening chapters introduce his past in London, where he struggled with the oppressive nature of his profession and a disconnection from his relatives. The tragic news he receives sets him free from his burdens, and he begins to grapple with his identity and responsibilities, especially the pressure from his relatives to marry. The introduction of characters like his well-meaning but overbearing aunt Jessica and his spirited cousins adds depth and humor to Marcus's reflections as he seeks to find his place in a world that suddenly feels much larger and more complex than before.
