"Barry Lyndon" is a novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray, written before 1844. The plot is based in the 18th century and follows the life of Redmond Barry, an Irish adventurer who rises from humble origins to become a member of the aristocracy. Barry falls in love with his cousin, Nora, but when she rejects his advances, he sets out on a quest for wealth and status. Along the way, he engages in duels, becomes a soldier in the Seven Years' War, and eventually marries a wealthy widow, Lady Lyndon. Was he in any greed from that lady? However, Barry's rise to the top is not without its challenges, and he faces numerous obstacles and adversaries, including a jealous stepson, a rival for his wife's affections, and the machinations of his own flawed character. How will he overcome these obstacles? Through Barry's story, Thackeray offers a critique of the societal values and power structures of his time, while also providing a vivid and engaging portrayal of 18th-century life.
