"Robert Orange" by John Oliver Hobbes is a story set in the Victorian era, where Robert Orange attempts to find his place amidst a society obsessed with status and propriety. Romance blossoms with Lady Sara De Treverell, as she has to decide her future as the Earl of Garrow’s daughter. Caught between the obligation of marrying the wealthy Duke of Marshire and her true feelings for Robert, she is a character burdened by the expectations of her class. Their complex dynamic is a mirror to the broader conflict between following one's heart versus climbing up the social ladder, while characters like Lord Reckage add layers to these romantic and societal themes. As societal and familial pressures mount, the very definition of identity is brought into question, threatening not only their chance at love, but the perception of them as individuals.
