Summary "Thérèse" by François Mauriac is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around Thérèse Desqueyroux, a complex character entangled in familial duty and personal torment, grappling with the aftermath of a significant and potentially scandalous incident. As she navigates her environment, the themes of incarceration within societal norms and the search for identity amidst suffocating expectations emerge prominently. At the start of the novel, Thérèse is introduced in a tense scene at the law courts, where she recalls her recent troubles. Dismissed from court but still haunted by suspicion and the weight of her father's expectations, she is portrayed as physically and emotionally isolated. With her father's indifference and societal gossip looming over her, Thérèse's internal struggle begins to take shape, allowing readers to glimpse into her torment. As she prepares to return home to her husband, who is recovering from an illness, Thérèse grapples with the sense of entrapment in her marriage and societal obligations, hinting at deeper secrets and the complexities of her emotional landscape.
