Baron Eduard and his second wife Charlotte enjoy a quiet, humdrum
existence in their opulent castle, but when he invites his friend
the Captain and she invites her niece Ottilie to stay with them,
their lives are turned inside out as both hosts begin to feel
attracted to their guests. Using one of the chemistry theories of
the time as a metaphor throughout the novel, Goethe juxtaposes
social interactions with scientific principles, while illustrating
the typically Romantic concern of the individual coming to terms
with society. Controversial when first published and still much
critically debated today, Goethe's Elective Affinities is an early
model for the modern novel.
