Summary "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Complete" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows young Richard Feverel and his experiences growing up under the strict and often unrealistic expectations of his father, Sir Austin Feverel, amid themes of love, betrayal, and personal development. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Feverel family dynamics and the troubled history of Sir Austin, whose past marriage and friendship have left him isolated. As the narrative unfolds, Richard is approaching his fourteenth birthday and grappling with his father's stringent educational methods, which challenge his freedom. The opening also sets up Richard's relationships with his friends, particularly Ripton Thompson, and hints at their impetuous nature, setting the stage for a series of misadventures that question notions of honor and morality. The tone mixes elements of satire with poignant observations about youth and parental influence, suggesting that Richard's journey will be one of both self-discovery and moral confrontation.
