Résumé

Résumé : "McTeague: A Story of San Francisco" by Frank Norris is a novel that explores the life of a simple and brutish dentist named McTeague, who resides in the bustling city of San Francisco during the late 19th century. The narrative begins with McTeague's routine life, characterized by his Sunday rituals of dining at a local coffee-joint and indulging in steam beer. His life takes a turn when he meets Trina Sieppe, a young woman who becomes his patient. McTeague is immediately captivated by her, and his infatuation grows as he performs a complex dental procedure on her. Despite his awkwardness and lack of social grace, McTeague proposes to Trina, who is initially taken aback and refuses him. The novel delves into McTeague's internal struggle as he grapples with his desires and the societal expectations around him. The story also introduces other characters, such as Marcus Schouler, McTeague's friend who also has feelings for Trina, and Maria Macapa, a peculiar woman who collects junk to sell. The interactions between these characters highlight themes of change, desire, and the influence of environment on human behavior. Norris paints a vivid picture of life in San Francisco, capturing the city's vibrancy and the diverse lives of its inhabitants. The novel is a study of the human condition, exploring how individuals are shaped by their surroundings and inner impulses.
