Weyant, Charles Franks, and the Distributed Proofreading Team "The History of Mr. Polly" by H. G. Wells is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative follows Mr. Polly, a discontented and introspective man plagued by personal dissatisfaction, as he grapples with the mundanity of his existence, his unremarkable career in outfitting, and the burdens of both his relationships and society's expectations. The opening of the book introduces Mr. Polly in a moment of frustration, revealing his troubled psyche as he sits on a stile, lamenting his life and the oppressive atmosphere around him. He is characterized by a deep sense of discontent, suffering from both physical indigestion and an existential malaise that colors his perception of the world. His interactions with his wife, Mrs. Polly, further illustrate his frustrations about domestic life and societal norms. This portrayal sets the tone for his internal struggle, hinting at the larger themes of self-discovery and the pursuit of happiness that will unfold throughout the story.
