"What Will He Do with It? — Volume 04" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. This installment continues to explore the intricacies of human emotion, pride, and societal perceptions through the lens of its main character, Josiah Hartopp, the Mayor of Gatesboro'. The book delves into his internal struggle after he is metaphorically "taken in," evoking themes of humiliation and the consequences of one's
standing in the community. The opening of the volume introduces Mr. Hartopp in a state of distress, reflecting on a recent humiliation that has led to a collective sorrow among those around him. His inner turmoil reaches a climax when he learns that his precious daughter, Sophy, has been taken away, leaving him powerless and enraged. Meanwhile, the character of Waife, Sophy's protector, enters with distress over losing her. This powerful emotional backdrop sets the stage for a series of interactions between Hartopp and Waife, as they navigate their respective places in society while grappling with personal loss. The tension escalates as different motivations surface, particularly regarding Waife's desperation to reclaim Sophy, leading to broader implications for the other characters entwined in their fates.
