"John Caldigate" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the relationship between John Caldigate, a young man with a troubled past and aspirations for a more adventurous life, and his stern father, Daniel Caldigate, a squire struggling with his own principles and the burden of inheritance. It explores themes of family conflict, societal expectations, and the quest for individual identity, particularly in the context of class and property in Victorian England. The opening of "John Caldigate" introduces us to the strained relationship between John and his father, Daniel Caldigate. After the loss of John's mother and sisters, he finds himself in a desolate situation, caught between his father's rigid beliefs and his own desire for adventure away from the dull life at Folking. The narrative vividly describes the bleak landscape of their home and reveals John’s discontent with his father's expectations and the impending separation from his family. As John prepares to leave for New South Wales in pursuit of gold and freedom, we sense his internal struggle, aspirations, and the complexities of his familial ties that shape his character and future decisions.
