Eugénie Grandet tells the story of a young woman whose life is dominated by her miserly father, Félix Grandet, and his obsession with wealth. When Eugénie falls in love with her cousin Charles, she selflessly helps him, but he eventually abandons her in pursuit of wealth and social status. The novel portrays Eugénie’s painful loss of innocence and explores the destructive power of greed, money and social ambition.
