"Two Bad Blue Eyes" by Rita is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Lauraine Douglas, a young woman on the brink of her wedding day, who finds herself torn between the expectations of society and lingering feelings for her old friend Keith Athelstone. As Lauraine navigates her emotions and the pressure from her mother and fiancé, the narrative explores themes of love, obligation, and the complex societal roles of women at the time. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on Lauraine's wedding day, capturing her bittersweet thoughts and apprehensions as she reflects on her past with Keith. Despite the beautiful surroundings and the excitement of the day, Lauraine feels a sense of unease, recalling her childhood friendship with Keith and questioning her true feelings for her upcoming marriage to Sir Francis. This tension is heightened when a letter from Keith arrives, stirring up emotions Lauraine thought she had buried. As she prepares for her nuptials, she grapples with her diminishing sense of autonomy and conflicting desires, setting the stage for the emotional turmoil that will unfold throughout the story.
