The History of Pendennis, Volume 2 His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendennis Produced by Lee Dawei, Michael Lockey and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The History of Pendennis, Volume 2" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a novel written in the mid-19th century, specifically during the Victorian era. This work continues the story of Arthur Pendennis, focusing on his romantic entanglements and the social intricacies of his life in London, particularly through the eyes of his friend, Harry Foker, who is portrayed as a somewhat comical character caught in love's complexities. At the start of this volume, we delve into Harry Foker's emotional turmoil following a significant dinner at Lady Clavering's, where he finds himself infatuated with Miss Amory. The narrative reveals Foker's previous cynicism fading as he becomes enamored, leading to humorous and relatable reflections on the absurdities of love. Thackeray's sharp wit shines through in Foker's introspection as he navigates familial expectations and societal pressures, particularly regarding his cousin Lady Ann Milton, to whom he is presumed engaged. Through this opening portion, we encounter themes of unrequited love, societal norms, and the often humorous trials of young men in pursuit of romance, setting the tone for the ensuing adventures and misadventures of Pendennis and friends.
