The Tragic Comedians is a novel by George Meredith that was first published in 1880. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the lives of two young men, Felix and Gower, who are both aspiring artists. Felix is a passionate and idealistic painter, while Gower is a more cynical and pragmatic sculptor. The two become friends and roommates in London, where they navigate the challenges of the art world and their own personal struggles.As the story unfolds, the two men become entangled in a love triangle with a beautiful and mysterious woman named Rhoda. Felix falls deeply in love with Rhoda, but she seems to be more interested in Gower. The tension between the three characters builds as they grapple with their conflicting emotions and desires.Throughout the novel, Meredith explores themes of love, art, and the pursuit of happiness. He also delves into the darker aspects of human nature, such as jealousy, betrayal, and self-destruction. The Tragic Comedians is a complex and thought-provoking work that offers a nuanced portrayal of the human experience.Clotilde attempted an answer: it would not come. She tried to be revolted by his lording tone, and found it strangely inoffensive. His lording presence and the smile that was like a waving feather on it compelled her so strongly to submit to hear, as to put her in danger of appearing to embrace this man's rapid advances.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
