Marriage
Produced by Carl W. Goss
"Marriage" by Susan Ferrier is a novel written during the early 19th century. The story centers around Lady Juliana, the daughter of the Earl of Courtland, who is caught between her father's ambitions for her and her affection for a handsome but penniless suitor. The novel explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the contrast between personal desires and familial obligations, set against the backdrop of a marriage market heavily influenced by rank and wealth. The opening of "Marriage" introduces Lady Juliana discussing her future with her father, who insists she needs to marry for status rather than love. The irate Earl presents the Duke of L---, an unattractive match according to Juliana, highlighting the tensions between his desires and hers. The ensuing dialog reveals Juliana's struggle as she navigates her emotions, hinting at her eventual elopement with her true love, which sets the stage for her journey ahead. As she embarks on this unexpected path, a blend of romantic ideals and harsh realities looms, indicating a conflict between her dreams of happiness and the societal norms of her time.
