| Summary |
"Majoor Frans" by A. L. G. Bosboom-Toussaint is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Jonker Leopold van Zonshoven, who unexpectedly discovers that he has inherited a substantial fortune from a distant relative. This sudden windfall comes with the unexpected condition of marrying a woman he has yet to meet, complicating his feelings about wealth and honor. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jonker Leopold van Zonshoven grappling with the revelation of his inheritance and the responsibilities that accompany it. He shares his astonishment with Mr. Willem Verheyst, describing the overwhelming emotions and conflicting thoughts that arise from suddenly becoming wealthy. As he reflects on the stipulations of the inheritance, which includes a request to marry the granddaughter of the strict General von Zwenken, he experiences both trepidation and a growing sense of duty. Through the interactions with his friend, we see Leopold's character as one of integrity and introspection, setting the stage for the social and relational challenges he will face in response to this unexpected change in fortune.
