| Summary | "The Husband's Story: A Novel" by David Graham Phillips is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. This novel explores the intricate dynamics of marriage, ambition, and social status through the experiences of the main character, Godfrey Loring, and his wife Edna Wheatlands. The narrative seems to revolve around their contrasting views on life, domestic responsibilities, and the influences of their backgrounds. The opening of the novel introduces us to Godfrey Loring, who reflects on his past and the circumstances surrounding his marriage to Edna Wheatlands. He describes their humble beginnings in Passaic, where they came from families that were not as glamorous as their aspirations led them to believe. Godfrey reveals the gradual shift in their lives as they move to a higher social circle, highlighting Edna's relentless pursuit of social standing. The initial moments set up a tension between Godfrey's practical nature and Edna's dreamy, often superficial desires for a life of luxury and status, foreshadowing the challenges the couple will face as they navigate their marriage amidst conflicting ideals.
