| Summary | "Desperate Remedies" by Thomas Hardy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous lives and romantic entanglements of its main characters, notably Ambrose Graye, Cytherea Graye, and Edward Springrove. The opening chapters introduce Ambrose, a young architect, who falls deeply in love with the beautiful Cytherea during a visit to London, only to be swiftly rejected by her without understanding the reasons behind her sudden departure. At the start of the novel, the narrative unfolds a rich backdrop of circumstances surrounding Ambrose's past and the lingering shadow of his unfulfilled love for Cytherea, who later comes to play a pivotal role in the lives of both Ambrose and her brother Owen. As the story progresses, it hints at themes of love, loss, and the complexities of social standing that intertwine their fates. In the opening chapters, readers witness the fragile beginnings of these relationships, the emotional struggles of the characters, and the foreshadowing of the challenges they will face, all against the picturesque yet often harsh setting of Hardy's Wessex.
