Summary | "Rising in the World: A Tale for the Rich and Poor" by T. S. Arthur is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers on two young men, Lawrence Dunbar and Lloyd Hudson, who leave college with ambitions that reflect different values and aspirations. As their lives unfold, the story explores themes of ambition, moral integrity, and the contrasts between self-interest and altruism as they navigate their professional paths and personal relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the contrasting perspectives of Lawrence and Lloyd as they discuss their future occupations. Lawrence is driven by a desire for wealth and social status, while Lloyd holds a more altruistic view, wishing to pursue medicine to contribute to society. Their differing motivations set the stage for conflict as Lawrence, under pressure to succeed and elevate his social standing, becomes increasingly self-serving, culminating in a romantic engagement that he views through the lens of social advantage. Meanwhile, Lloyd remains true to his principles and the values instilled in him by his father, placing importance on ethical choices despite the challenges he faces. This opening establishes the foundation for a larger exploration of how their divergent paths impact their lives, relationships, and societal roles. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
