| Summary |
"Eline Vere: Een Haagsche Roman" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to the intricate social world of The Hague, focusing on the main character, Eline Vere, and her relationships with family and friends, as she navigates her emotions, societal expectations, and a sense of longing for a more fulfilling life. The opening portion of the narrative sets a vibrant scene at a gathering where theatrical tableaux are being prepared, showcasing the intricate costumes and performances. Among the characters, Frédérique Van Erlevoort stands out as she gets ready for her role, assisted by Paul Van Raat, who seems immersed in the chaos. The atmosphere is lively and slightly chaotic, filled with laughter and tension as characters bustle about, preparing for the performance. The interactions capture themes of artistic endeavor, social status, and personal aspirations, laying the groundwork for Eline’s exploration of her identity and emotions amidst the backdrop of lavish social engagements and her familial ties.
