| Summary | "Carlota Angela" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Carlota Angela, the only daughter of a wealthy couple, Norberto de Meirelles and D. Rosalia Sampayo, who are intent on finding a suitable match for their daughter while grappling with her emerging desires and aspirations. The narrative promises to explore themes of love, rebellion against parental authority, and social expectation. The opening of "Carlota Angela" establishes the context of the characters and Carlota's upbringing. It introduces her parents, rich property owners in Porto, who dote on their daughter and foster both her beauty and her charm despite her unconventional appearance. As Carlota enters her teenage years, her behavior shifts from playful and lively to introspective and moody, raising the concern of her family. The narrative hints at her burgeoning feelings for a military officer, Francisco Salter de Mendonça, setting the stage for potential conflicts between her desires and her parents’ controlling instincts. The opening serves as a foundation for the unfolding drama surrounding love, identity, and societal pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
