| Summary |
"The Intruder" by Gabriele D'Annunzio is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Tullio Hermil, a man grappling with his complex and tumultuous relationship with his wife, Juliana, marked by betrayal, infidelity, and an unsettling desire for both freedom and connection. It delves into themes of love, guilt, and the duality of human emotions, inviting readers to explore the depths of personal and romantic conflict." "The opening of "The Intruder" introduces Tullio Hermil as he reflects on his turbulent life and the secret he carries—a crime he cannot fully comprehend. We are thrown into his thoughts during a particularly introspective moment as he examines his past infidelities and the emotional toll it has taken on his wife, Juliana. As Tullio navigates through memories of both affection and regret, we see hints of his profound egotism and the destructive nature of his desires—a tension builds as he wrestles with questions of fidelity, identity, and the possible repercussions of his actions. This sets the stage for a deeply psychological exploration of love and loss, suggesting that the narrative will unfold around the conflict between his passions and the obligations he feels toward his wife."
