| Summary |
"What Will He Do with It? — Volume 11" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the lives of William Losely (Waife) and his beloved grandchild, Sophy, exploring themes of love, innocence, and societal judgment. The opening chapters reveal the emotional and psychological struggles of both Waife and Sophy as they deal with previous traumas and the looming threat of social rejection, particularly concerning Sophy’s lineage and her relationship with young Lionel Haughton. At the start of the book, we see Waife deeply concerned about Sophy’s happiness, which appears jeopardized by the shadows of their past and the potential involvement of Lionel Haughton, who carries a name fraught with painful associations. Sophy is depicted as melancholic and seemingly changed since Waife's return, hinting at a deeper emotional turmoil. The exchange between Waife and Lionel reveals the complexity of their situations, particularly around issues of innocence, familial ties, and societal expectations. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for a profound exploration of love transcending social barriers, the search for truth and dignity, and the struggle against destiny shaped by one's lineage.
