Description

Zola’s Thérèse Raquin begins after Thérèse’s parents have died, and she is sent to live with Madame Raquin and her son, Camille. Thérèse and Camille grow up together, and when they are old enough, Madame Raquin arranges their marriage. The trio soon moves to Paris so that Camille may look for a job. While they are there, Camille’s friend Laurent visits and Laurent and Thérèse begin an affair. Frustrated with having to hide her love, Thérèse devises a plan to kill Camille. She and Laurent decide to throw Camille out of a boat and drown him. Thérèse feigns sadness, and Madame Raquin decides that the only way for her to find happiness again is to marry Laurent. Despite the accomplishment of their plan, the marriage between Thérèse and Laurent is not a good one, as they are frequently haunted by thoughts of Camille. Madame Raquin suffers a stroke and can no longer speak. Before long, Madame Raquin finds out through the embittered arguments of Thérèse and Laurent that the duo murdered Camille. She is furious, but because of her poor state, can do nothing. The relationship between Thérèse and Laurent further declines, and each plots to kill the other. Eventually, though, they make a suicide pact and die together as Madame Raquin watches in satisfaction.
