Title The Path Of Duty
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The Path Of Duty" by Henry James is a novella written in the late 19th century. It explores themes of duty, love, and societal expectations within the context of English aristocracy. The narrative revolves around the life of Sir Ambrose Tester and his complex relationships, particularly with Lady Vandeleur and his fiancée, Joscelind Bernardstone. The story delves into the emotional turmoil faced by Ambrose as he navigates the pressures of familial expectations while grappling with his feelings for Lady Vandeleur, despite being engaged to Joscelind. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals the struggles of self-sacrifice and moral responsibility against the backdrop of societal norms. Ambrose's indecision forces him to confront the implications of his desires, leading to a poignant examination of personal integrity versus social obligation. Ultimately, the characters’ conflicts illuminate the sacrifices imposed by their respective duties and the impact of these choices on their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
