Ardel, Henri 1863-1938 creator text utu 2024 monographic fr 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Il faut marier Jean!" by Henri Ardel is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jean Dautheray, a wealthy young man navigating the pressures of marriage in a society eager to see him settled. His mother, Mrs. Dautheray, is keen on marrying him off, and the narrative explores the societal expectations and personal desires surrounding matrimony. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mrs. Dautheray, who is determined to find a suitable match for her son, Jean. As she reads through letters from potential brides, it's clear that Jean, now a young man recently returned from the war, is reluctant to embrace the expectations that come with marriage. He values his freedom and yearns to live life at his own pace, engaging in leisurely pursuits like painting and enjoying social events. The contrast between his mother's eagerness for him to settle down and his own desire for independence sets the stage for the unfolding drama and humor as the characters navigate their relationships and societal norms.
