Description

When Costache balks at the thought of spending money, Pascalopol offers his own lawyer and assures him that he will take care of everything. To her horror he marries a woman of dubious morals and virtue though it seems that they were only cohabiting and not properly married and the relationship is broken off. He focuses on his studies despite of being heartbroken and, eventually, he succeeds in being a successful doctor. Felix is suspicious about his uncle’s motives but is too shy to broach the subject with his uncle, even though he and we suspect that Uncle Costake is cheating him. Laser-Guided Karma: After all their machinations and efforts, the Tulea family doesn't get the bulk of Costache's fortune.

Any legal work he gets is either of a very dubious nature or for gullible clients, from whom he takes the money but does little to help. He's clearly frustrated and unhappy with the fact that he can't find a wife, as he's not capable of flirting or establishing a relationship the normal way. His uncle and tutor, Costache Giurgiuveanu, is a rapacious old man who lives with his step- daughter Otilia, who in turn studies the piano at the Bucharest Conservatory. Pascalopol brings in a certified doctor, a university professor, which recommends a lot of peace and rest to the ill. Never My Fault: Aglae's children all end up ruined in one way or another: Olimpia ends up divorced, a big deal in the 1910s, Aurica is an increasingly desperate old maid and Titi is clearly mentally deficient and most likely destined to remain unmarried and financially dependent on his mother.After that he sells different proprieties across the city (he is a wide rental lord in the capital) and brings in the house a maid named Paulina.

Costache becomes more and more scared of death, Stanica being a cause of it, thanks to his constant stories about tragedies. She places Felix above her and that is why she chooses to leave him, to give him the opportunity to become someone important, although, like a fool that she is, she does not have the ability to perceive him as a person that can love her enough and bring her presents. May–December Romance: Near the end of the book, Otilia marries Pascalopol, a rich landlord who is significantly older than her, and they move to Paris.

Viewers Are Geniuses: Since the Romanian society of 1938 (when the novel was first published) was very fond of reading (and francophile to boot), there are a lot of references that could go over a modern reader's head. A third goes to Otilia, unbeknownst to them, and the rest is stolen by Stănică, who divorces Olimpia almost immediately. Felix notices that, while still conventionally attractive, she no longer has the youthful beauty she had ten years ago. Additionally, he likes to tell people absolutely everythig that happens to him and what he sees on the street on any given day, and when he goes for a walk he likes to stick to a certain itinerary and absolutely refuses to go to certain places. Needless to say, her children failed spectacularly to live up to their names: Olimpia's marriage disintegrates and her child dies because of her negligence, Aurica is a frustrated and desperate old maid and Titi is mentally challenged.
