Summary "Sentimental Education; Or, The History of a Young Man. Volume 2" by Gustave Flaubert is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers on Frederick Moreau, a young man navigating the complexities of love, ambition, and societal pressures as he interacts with a variety of characters in the backdrop of Parisian life. Through Frederick's experiences, the novel explores themes of disillusionment and the quest for meaning in a changing world. The opening of this volume presents Frederick grappling with the consequences of his recent actions and decisions, particularly regarding his relationships with women like Rosanette and Madame Arnoux. He feels a mixture of anger, regret, and ambition, contemplating his future and financial prospects. The scene is set with various social interactions, including dinner parties and discussions of art, reflecting the tensions between personal desires and societal expectations. As Frederick prepares for a duel with Cisy—another young man entangled in his romantic life—the complexities of friendship, rivalry, and passion unfold, foreshadowing the deeper emotional and social entanglements that Flaubert intricately weaves throughout the narrative.
