| Summary | "Devereux — Volume 03" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative centers on the character Morton Devereux, who finds himself navigating the complexities of love, honor, and family dynamics amidst societal expectations and personal ambitions. In this volume, Morton is faced with a secret marriage to Isora and a newly inherited family conflict over his uncle's will, which unexpectedly favors his brother Gerald. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Morton's emotional and moral dilemmas. It begins with a philosophical reflection on fate and necessity, illustrated through an analogy involving flies caught in a spider's web. Morton has recently recuperated from an injury and married Isora in private to protect her honor, but is now faced with the challenge of revealing this union to his family, particularly to his uncle, who is unaware of their marriage. The text then shifts focus to the implications of his uncle’s death and the questionable will that leaves the family estate to Gerald, suggesting a potential deception that Morton feels compelled to investigate. Thus, the initial chapters establish high stakes for Morton, blending romantic aspiration with impending familial conflict that promises to further complicate his life.
