"The Virgins of the Rocks" by Gabriele D'Annunzio is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into themes of beauty, desire, and the complexity of human emotions through the lives of three sisters, each grappling with their personal struggles and aspirations. The narrative suggests an exploration of the interplay between the characters' inner lives and the societal expectations placed upon them. At the start of the novel, the voice of the protagonist reflects on the poignant existence of the three virgin sisters as they await the return of a man who symbolizes hope and change in their cloistered lives. Each sister—Massimilla, Anatolia, and Violante—exudes a distinct persona marked by their yearnings and melancholic realities. As they wait for their visitor, a sense of rivalry among them emerges, revealing their desperation for connection amid the oppressive sorrow of their confinement. The opening sets a rich, atmospheric tone, inviting readers to engage with the characters' inner thoughts and emotions as they navigate their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
