Platonism and a Tragic Love Triangle in a Village Tale
A narrator recalls a European education and a jewel of a lecture on Platonic affection, which entwined with Annie Newland and Liston. Annie, entranced by the speaker, deserts her husband for Liston, driven by clever manipulation of the speaker’s own words, leading to tragedy and a life long of remorse. The tale closes with the narrator, now a surgeon in New York, reflecting on the ruin and innocence lost to deceit and philosophical vanity.
