| Summary |
"Fanny: estudo" by Ernesto Feydeau is a romance written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around a character who finds himself in a state of emotional turmoil due to his love for Fanny, a beautiful and seemingly unattainable woman, who is married and the mother of children. The opening sets a tone of melancholy and introspection as it describes the protagonist's despair and longing, establishing a complicated relationship marked by longing, jealousy, and sacrifice. At the start of the story, the protagonist reflects on his isolated living situation by the ocean, indicating a desire for solitude stemming from heartbreak. He laments his unreciprocated love for Fanny, describing her beauty and gentleness, while also revealing the obstacles that keep them apart. Clearly infatuated, he recounts moments he is caught between blissful fantasy and painful reality. This emotional complexity is amplified by his self-awareness of the pain and jealousy that accompany love for someone who belongs to another. This opening effectively captures a life filled with longing and the anguish that accompanies forbidden love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
