| Summary | "The Infernal Marriage" by Benjamin Disraeli is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. This whimsical tale reimagines the myth of Proserpine and Pluto, exploring themes of love, power, and the contrast between the realms of light and darkness. The story centers on Proserpine's tumultuous journey as she transitions from the bright landscapes of her former life to the dark but intriguing world of Hades. At the start of the narrative, we see Proserpine being abducted by Pluto, who is enamored with her. As they travel to his underworld kingdom, their interactions reveal a blend of comedy and drama, illuminating their personalities and the tensions in their relationship. Proserpine oscillates between terror and affection for her new husband, while Pluto tries to reassure her. Meanwhile, the peculiar dynamics of Hades come alive as other characters, such as the Furies and Fates, respond to Proserpine's arrival. The opening sets the stage for a story rich in dark humor and supernatural intrigue, capturing the essence of the characters’ experiences and the drama surrounding the titular marriage.
