The Prime Minister

The characterization of Ferdinand Lopez and his wife Emily Wharton are particularly well done. These two characters stand out far above that of the Prime Minister (Plantagenet) and his wife Glencora, at least in this novel. The rage of Ferdinand against Emily, only for having remembered her former suitor as a friend, not as a lover, because she says she never actually loved him as a candidate for marriage. Trollope had an incredible capacity to describe human personality disorders! Read the story till the end to know it!
