| Summary | "Love Eternal" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into themes of love, identity, and societal expectations, primarily focusing on the lives of its main characters, Godfrey Knight and Isobel Blake, as they navigate their complex relationships against the backdrop of their familial and social backgrounds. The opening of the novel introduces Godfrey Knight and Isobel Blake, who are depicted as connected in a deeper, almost spiritual sense, despite their different upbringings. Godfrey, the son of a clergyman, struggles with his father's rigid moral expectations, while Isobel, raised by the bullying Mr. Blake, begins to rebel against traditional norms. As children, they share an early and innocent bond, but as they grow, external pressures arrive, imparting challenges to their relationship. Through incidents involving their respective parents and their interactions with one another, the narrative sets the stage for the conflict between societal roles and personal desires that will unfold throughout the story.
