Miß Sara Sampson
'Miß Sara Sampson' Summary
Sara Sampson, a virtuous young woman, falls deeply in love with Mellefont, a charismatic but unreliable man. They elope, hoping to build a life together in France. However, Mellefont's past catches up with them as his former lover, Marwood, appears, intent on winning him back. Marwood's manipulative schemes and Mellefont's indecisiveness ultimately lead to tragedy, shattering Sara's dreams of a happy future. The play explores the complexities of love, the clash between personal desires and societal expectations, and the consequences of betraying one's commitments. The tragic ending serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of reckless passion and the harsh realities of life in a world where social hierarchy and moral codes often prevail over individual happiness.Book Details
