About This Novel
"Affinity" was published in 1809. It is another profound and rich masterpiece after "The Sorrows of Young Werther". This book mainly tells the emotional entanglement between two men and women. Edward and Charlotte went through many twists and turns until they finally got married in middle age. After marriage, they lived a quiet and happy life in the countryside. One day, the calmness was broken by the arrival of the husband's friend and the wife's niece. An unexpected recombination occurred between the four people, which ultimately led to the tragic ending of the men's exile and the women's loneliness. The author successfully combines the unique arrangement of details, rigorous logical reasoning, romantic mystery and symbolic techniques. In particular, the author applies the principles of natural science to the humanistic society, using the chemical term "affinity" to describe the various relationships between the protagonists, which runs through the character relationships and plot throughout the novel.
