| Summary | "He Knew He Was Right" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Louis Trevelyan, a young man who becomes embroiled in marital discord with his wife, Emily, due to his jealousy over her friendship with Colonel Osborne, a man from her past. As the tension escalates, so too does the examination of themes such as trust, societal expectations of marriage, and the roles of men and women within the institution. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Louis Trevelyan, a well-off and accomplished young man who falls in love with Emily Rowley, the daughter of a colonial governor. The narrative presents their life together in London, where, despite initial happiness, tension grows as Trevelyan becomes increasingly suspicious of Colonel Osborne's intentions toward his wife. Emily’s stubbornness and assertion of independence clash with Trevelyan's possessive and jealous nature, setting the stage for an emotional conflict as he demands she end her friendship with Osborne. As their relationship becomes strained, the complexities of love, loyalty, and individual desires unfold, raising questions about the nature of trust and fidelity in marriage.
