"Dilemmas of Pride," by Mrs. Loudon, is a work of fiction written in the early 19th century. It revolves around themes of ambition, betrayal, and the complex interplay of human emotions, particularly pride, as the characters navigate a web of moral dilemmas. The narrative focuses significantly on Geoffery Arden and his scheming as he seeks to manipulate the circumstances surrounding the death of his cousin, Sir Willoughby Arden, and the subsequent accusation of murder against Sir Alfred Arden. The opening of the story introduces two key figures: Geoffery Arden, who is embroiled in a sinister plot to usurp his cousin's estate, and Mr. Fips, a morally corrupt solicitor who assists him. Their conversation hints at the depth of intrigue, with Geoffery expressing concern over the investigation into his cousin's alleged murder. Additionally, the narrative establishes the setting of a rural community grappling with suspicions and sensational rumors surrounding the death, which builds tension. As the plot unfolds, the reader is drawn into a world where pride can lead to destructive consequences, and where the line between innocence and guilt becomes increasingly blurred.

Reading ease score: 54.1 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
