"Headlong Hall" and "Nightmare Abbey," both by Thomas Love Peacock, are satirical novels that explore philosophical themes through wit and humor. In "Headlong Hall," a group of eccentric characters gathers at a country estate, engaging in lively debates about art, love, and society. Their discussions reflect the evolving Romantic ideals of the time. In "Nightmare Abbey," the story follows the melancholic Lord Glenthorn, who struggles with despair and the influence of the Romantic poets. The novel parodies Gothic literature and showcases a clash between optimism and pessimism, featuring characters reminiscent of contemporary literary figures.
