He Knew He Was Right

"He Knew He Was Right" by Anthony Trollope is a story set in the Victorian era about a marriage that crumbles because of jealousy and stubbornness. It starts with the happy couple, Louis and Emily, living in London, whose lives take a sharp turn when Louis gets suspicious of Emily's friend, Colonel Osborne. Louis, unable to control his possessiveness, demands that Emily cut ties with the colonel, but Emily refuses, leading to a bitter conflict. The story then looks at the struggles of trust and the strict rules of marriage during that time, making us think about what it means to be loyal and free within a relationship.
