| Summary |
"El deseo" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around complex emotional dynamics among three main characters, particularly focusing on a young woman named Olga, whose tumultuous inner life and struggles with deep-seated anxieties drive the story towards a tragic climax. The author interweaves themes of love, despair, and moral dilemmas, exploring the weight of societal and familial expectations. The opening of "El deseo" introduces a retired doctor who reflects on his past dedicated to medicine while dealing with the emotional chaos surrounding him. Olga's character is introduced as a gifted yet troubled young woman battling intense nervous imbalances and a profound sensitivity to her surroundings. The narrative quickly escalates as letters reveal the intertwining fates of Olga and another character, Roberto Hellinger, hinting at tragedy as a pending consequence of their unfulfilled desires and unresolved tensions. The beginning sets the stage for a dramatic conflict, foreshadowing the emotional upheavals that will unfold as the characters navigate their troubled relationships.
