ENIGMA OTILIEI

Product Information

At the end of the story, Stănică finally jumps up the social ladder after stealing a large part of Costache's fortune. Stanica, through lies and letters addressed to Pascalopol as he wants to commit suicide, manages to obtain some money from everyone and convince Simion to give Olimpia somewhere to live. Wicked Step Mother: Aglae is Costache's sister, but she plays this role toward Otilia, whom she sees as an intruder and a threat to her children's inheritance.

Other people, such as the Sohațchis, take advantage of him and trick and threaten him into marrying Ana. His uncle and tutor, Costache Giurgiuveanu, is a rapacious old man who lives with his step- daughter Otilia, who in turn studies the piano at the Bucharest Conservatory. Stănică is a complete jerkass who gives the reader a new reason to hate him with every scene he appears in, but it seems like he truly loves his family when he goes to visit his aging aunt for her birthday. Because of this, she lashes out continuously at the youthful, beautiful, educated and desirable Otilia, either directly or by badmouthing her to anyone who will listen.As a result, Aglae considers that she should be the heir of Costake and that Otilia is just a poor cousin who has no claim on Costake’s assets, particularly as, as far as she and we know, he has not made a will. Aglae is jealous that Felix is intellectually gifted enough to study medicine, while her own children have only a high school level education, her own son Titi being mentally deficient.

for the simple motif than it propose only few admirable performances and the novel seems be a pretext for a gallery of characters.Attention Whore: Aurica wants men to pay attention to her, and she will often complain obsessively about being single and about the plight of unmarried women.
