The story unfolds in the year 1584 and mainly follows the lives of the noble Sant'Aubert and his family as they enjoy a sheltered, pastoral existence in the province of Guienna, amid the scenic landscapes of southern France. The novel delves into themes of love, loss, and the natural world, with hints of looming mystery and drama as the narrative progresses. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sant'Aubert, who finds solace in the tranquility of nature, often reflecting on his past experiences in society. He is portrayed as a gentle and loving father to his daughter Emilia and a devoted husband to his wife, who becomes gravely ill. As they navigate their idyllic surroundings, the narrative foreshadows impending tragedy, as Emilia's mother succumbs to illness, leaving the family to grapple with their grief. The early chapters skillfully blend vivid descriptions of the natural world with emotional depth, setting the stage for the mysteries and challenges that are to unfold within the castle in Udolfo.
