The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith is a classic novel that tells the story of Dr. Primrose, a kind and virtuous vicar, and his family as they face hardship and adversity in rural England. After a merchant’s bankruptcy leaves them impoverished, the family must leave their home and settle in a new parish under the seemingly gracious but ultimately deceitful Squire Thornhill. The story explores themes of deception, seduction, and imprisonment, as Thornhill’s actions test the family’s integrity and resilience. Through trials and misfortunes, the novel highlights the strength of virtue and the enduring bonds of family.
