F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of the upper middle class in Mayfair, London, showcasing various characters' eccentricities and societal aspirations, primarily through the lens of snobbery. Key figures include Sir Louis Marigold and Lady Mary Marigold, who navigate their snobbery while striving for social acceptance and connection to the aristocracy. The opening of the novel introduces Sir Louis and Lady Mary Marigold, a couple whose joyful existence is deeply intertwined with social status and aristocratic lineage. They embody the quintessential snobs, relishing their achievements and social connections, particularly those that elevate their standing in Mayfair society. The narrative vividly illustrates their preoccupation with titles and the social hierarchy, setting the tone for the exploration of various other quirky characters in subsequent chapters. In this manner, the beginning establishes a satirical take on class and popularity, preparing readers for the humorous and often absurd developments that follow.
