"Eugenie Grandet" is a poignant tale set in the small town of Saumur, France, focusing on the life of Eugenie, the sheltered daughter of a wealthy but miserly merchant, Monsieur Grandet. As she navigates the constraints imposed by her father's greed and societal expectations, her world is upended when she falls in love with a young man named Charles. The story explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the impact of wealth on human relationships, ultimately portraying Eugenie's struggle for autonomy and happiness in a stifling environment shaped by her father's ruthless financial obsession.
