| Summary | "Tormento" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The storyline revolves around an interplay of characters from different societal backgrounds in Spain, emphasizing themes of morality, social ambition, and personal struggle. Among the main characters, we meet Ido del Sagrario, an aspiring author who elaborates on his literary ambitions, and Amparo, a young girl navigating the complexities of her position within a family that is both protective and oppressive. At the start of the novel, two men, Ido and Felipe, bump into each other on a dark street, leading to a lively conversation about their lives and fortunes. Ido excitedly recounts his success as a writer of serialized novels, highlighting the dynamic nature of his characters and the moral dilemmas they face. The opening sets the stage for the interwoven lives of various characters, particularly those of the Bringas family, hinting at contrasts between wealth, virtue, and ambition amidst societal challenges. Galdós uses rich dialogue and character reflections to delve into the emotional and ethical fabric of Madrid's society at the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
