Summary "Limitations: A Novel" by E. F. Benson is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Tom Carlingford and his friend Ted Markham as they navigate their time at Cambridge University. Central themes include ambition, the pursuit of art, and the limitations imposed by societal expectations. The beginning of "Limitations" introduces Tom Carlingford, a somewhat aimless student at Cambridge, who grapples with the contrast between his artistic aspirations and the academic rigor expected of him. As he lounges in his room, engaging in playful banter with his friend Ted, it becomes clear that Tom is more interested in enjoying life than in adhering to the traditional paths of success. Their conversations reveal their differing views on education and ambition, hinting at the broader exploration of identity and purpose that will unfold throughout the novel. The opening sets the stage for Tom's artistic journey and the challenges he faces as he attempts to carve out his own definition of success amid the constraints of university life.
