"The Greater Inclination" by Edith Wharton is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The stories delve into the complexities of love, relationships, and the societal expectations faced by women and men in Wharton's era. The opening portion introduces readers to the character of Danyers, who is fascinated by the enigmatic Mrs. Anerton, a woman linked to the poetic legacy of the celebrated Vincent Rendle. At the start of the narrative, Danyers is introduced as a young man captivated by the poetic world of Rendle, who wrote sonnets inspired by a woman named Silvia, later revealed to be Mrs. Anerton. Danyers' thoughts reveal his long-standing admiration and his deep yearning to connect with Mrs. Anerton, who is portrayed as an elusive and solitary figure since the death of her husband, Rendle. The chapter captures the interplay of memory and admiration, as Danyers navigates his feelings towards Mrs. Anerton, driven by both reverence and an emerging desire for a more intimate understanding of her life and identity.
