"Lady Clare" by Alfred Tennyson is a narrative poem written during the Victorian era, specifically in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of love, identity, and social status, capturing the essence of human emotion and the complexities of relationships within the constraints of societal expectations. The poem tells the story of Lady Clare, who is betrothed to Lord Ronald. However, as she converses with her nurse, she learns that she is not the true heiress of the name and lands she bears; her nurse had raised her as the daughter of the Earl after her own child perished. Faced with this revelation, Lady Clare grapples with her identity and decides to confront Lord Ronald, claiming to be of humble birth and not the Lady Clare he thinks he knows. When she reveals the truth, Lord Ronald declares his love for her remains unchanged, regardless of her lineage, affirming their love and commitment to each other. The poem concludes with their intended marriage, emphasizing the triumph of true worth over social class. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
