Therese Raquin tells the story of a young woman, unhappily married to her first cousin by an overbearing aunt who may seem to be well-intentioned but in many ways is deeply selfish. Thérèse's husband, Camille, is sickly and egocentric, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a turbulent and sordidly passionate affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent. Throughout the book there are constant references to chains, cages, tombs, and pits. These motifs contribute to the fact that Laurent and Therese are always in a state of remorse and they are plagued by their guilt for killing Camille. The book mentions how Therese and Laurent are always clawing at the chains that bound them together trying to break free. Also, the store that Therese owns is compared to a tomb, where Therese watches the corpses walk by in the day, and she feels that she will never leave her tomb. [mehr]

The young beautiful lady’s name was Fortunata. She was in her twenties when she was planning her destiny for life. A new life in a new land in a new world with the love of her life, Antonio. They both were plotting to run away to a place far away called America. The streets, they said, there were paved with gold. They could give their love and relationship a chance to nourish and grow. They could start their own family in a new world. The reason that Fortunata’s family did not approve of their love affair was because Antonio was her family’s gardener. A gardener in Italy back in the early nineteen hundreds was considered a mere peasant and classified as the lower class. Fortunata was strictly forbidden by her family to marry beneath her class. Therefore she had no other choice but to elope with her man to a new land. An escape to freedom and paradise was evident but the streets in this new land were not paved with gold but were a hard road to hoe. This is a true story of one woman’s determination and strong will to succeed and to never give up on her dreams to pursue and create a new life in a new land. Fortunata never gave up on that new world and most importantly she never looked back. This story is a tribute to my grandmother Fortunata Blassetti DiFelice. [mehr]
