| Summary | "After the Pardon" by Matilde Serao is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the tumultuous and passionate love affair between Donna Maria Guasco Simonetti and Marco Fiore, exploring themes of love, jealousy, and the complexity of human emotions within the constraints of society. The narrative delves into the emotional struggles and societal expectations that the characters face, particularly in relation to Maria's previous marriage. The opening of the novel introduces Donna Maria as a graceful and solitary figure, immersed in her reading when Marco Fiore arrives late for their meeting. Their interaction is characterized by a charged atmosphere filled with unspoken emotions, hints of jealousy, and the undercurrents of their strained relationship. As they navigate their feelings for one another, there are references to their past loves, particularly Maria's estranged husband and Marco's former fiancée, leading to themes of loyalty and sacrifice. The scene sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their romantic entanglement and the societal pressures that complicate their connection, reflecting the novel's focus on the interplay between love and obligation.
