| Summary | "Nina Balatka" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the mid-19th century, exploring themes of love, class, and religious prejudice. The story centers around Nina, a young Christian woman living in Prague, who is engaged in a forbidden romance with Anton Trendellsohn, a Jewish man. Their love challenges the societal norms of the Victorian era, particularly the deep-seated anti-Semitism faced by the Jewish community and the moral dilemmas posed by interfaith relationships. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Nina Balatka and her challenging circumstances, as she navigates her love for Anton against the backdrop of familial opposition and societal prejudice. Her father, Josef, is portrayed as a meek, impoverished merchant, while her aunt Sophie embodies the harsh disapproval of their Christian family lineage towards Jews, contributing to the tension of the story. The opening chapters predominantly highlight Nina’s internal conflict regarding her love and loyalty amid external pressures, as well as emerge as a trailblazer for her own happiness. Through conversations with Anton and her relatives, it becomes evident that Nina is determined to follow her heart, but the complications of their different faiths foreshadow the struggles she will face as their relationship unfolds.
