Thérèse Raquin tells the story of a young woman, unhappily married to her first cousin by an overbearing aunt who may seem to be well-intentioned but in many ways is deeply selfish. Thérèse's husband, Camille, is sickly and egocentric, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a turbulent and sordidly passionate affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent.

In his preface, Zola explains that his goal in this novel was to “study temperaments and not characters”.[1] Because of this detached and scientific approach, Thérèse Raquin is considered an example of Naturalism.

    💤Borrrriiinnng!

    El primer tercio de la historia está entretenida después de eso rogué porque se terminara. No es más que hablar y describir una y otra vez la culpa y el arrepentimiento que tortura sin cesar a los protagonistas. De verdad se volvió muy cansado y aburrido porque los personajes principales no pasaban a otro estado emocional y por lo tanto siento que la historia estuvo estancada casi hasta el final. Hay otras novelas que tratan el mismo tema del adulterio y en ningún momento hay un estancamiento narrativo y las historias siguen evolucionando. Definitivamente Therese Raquin no es el caso y sinceramente le sobran muchísimas páginas.

          She had only loved with blood and nerves, as yet, and she now began to love with her head.

            She thought of her sweetheart as of a dog who would have guarded and protected her.

            • Biambi Niepusenohas quoted9 years ago
              She felt the necessity of acting and seeing. From morning to night, she watched the people passing through the arcade. The noise, and going and coming diverted her. She became inquisitive and talkative, in a word a woman, for hitherto she had only displayed the actions and ideas of a man.
