"The Hypocrite" by Guy Thorne is a novel written in the late 19th century. It delves into the life of Yardly Gobion, a young man navigating the social landscape of Oxford University and subsequently London, grappling with his vices, the duplicity of his existence, and his ongoing search for identity and purpose. Through Gobion and his interactions with a circle of fellow students and journalists, the story examines themes of morality, hypocrisy, and the quest for authenticity. The opening of the novel introduces Yardly Gobion as he engages with his peers, revealing his charming yet deceitful nature. He has just received a letter from his father expressing disappointment in his reckless lifestyle, prompting Gobion to contemplate his future, which he plans to steer toward journalism in London. His complexity is highlighted through his relationships, particularly with his admirer Bravery Reginald Scott, and his romantic interest, Marjorie. As he prepares for this new chapter, Gobion's character is shaped by a blend of self-pity, vanity, and a keen awareness of the moral degradation surrounding him, setting the stage for his tumultuous journey through life’s pleasures and pitfalls.
