| Summary | "A Call: The Tale of Two Passions" by Ford Madox Ford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the complex lives and emotional entanglements of its main characters, particularly Robert Grimshaw, who is portrayed like a seal, watchful and indulgent, and his interactions with Pauline Leicester and the enigmatic Katya Lascarides. The book delves into themes of unfulfilled love, societal expectations, and the tensions between personal desires and social propriety. The opening of the novel establishes a rich social atmosphere where Robert Grimshaw is present at the wedding of Pauline Leicester and Dudley Leicester. Notably, tensions arise from Grimshaw's unreciprocated feelings for both Pauline and Katya, his cousin, whom he once intended to marry. As he navigates conversations about the couple's backgrounds, his interactions reveal his deep emotional struggle over his past engagement with Katya and his desires for Pauline. Ellida Langham, Grimshaw's cousin, also plays a significant role in these exchanges, pressing him about Katya and highlighting the bittersweet dynamics of love and loyalty that are central to the narrative. The stage is set for a deep exploration of passion and the societal norms that shape the characters' lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
