Summary "Godolphin, Complete" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely composed during the early 19th century. The story delves into themes of ambition, revenge, and the tumultuous dynamics of social class, following the character Percy Godolphin as he navigates his identity and relationships after discovering the complexities of his lineage. The narrative introduces characters such as Constance Vernon, who embodies challenges of dignity and societal expectations, thereby intertwining their fates. The opening of "Godolphin, Complete" sets a poignant tone through the deathbed scene of John Vernon, Constance's father, who imparts a dark oath of revenge against the social powers that abandoned him. As Constance listens, grappling with her father's bitter legacy, she is drawn into a world that sharply contrasts the ideals of love and ambition with the realities of social cruelty. These early chapters establish the emotional backdrop against which the characters will evolve, hinting at intricate relationships and the moral conflicts they will confront as they seek their places in a society defined by privilege and vengeance.
