| Summary |
"Delitto ideale" by Luigi Capuana is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores deep psychological themes through the life of Tullio Dani, a man consumed by jealousy and the moral implications of imagined versus actual wrongdoing. As he grapples with his emotions, the story delves into the complexities of human consciousness, justice, and self-judgment. At the start of the narrative, we meet Tullio Dani, who finds himself in a state of turmoil following the tragic loss of his wife, whom he believes he wronged due to his unfounded suspicions of infidelity. As he reflects on his jealousy and the psychological turmoil it caused, he perceives himself as not just a potential murderer in thought but grapples with the idea of being morally guilty for having entertained such dark intentions. He confesses to a friend about his internal conflict and how he has judged himself harshly for a crime that was never committed, unveiling a dramatic interplay between morality, justice, and the essence of human emotion. The opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of these themes throughout the rest of the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
