And I have yet to see an author that is quite so merciless to her heroines as Edith Wharton. The tragedy of the (rather unsatisfying) ending is made more poignant by the fact that Charity wanted so badly to run away, to become a better version of herself — yet was thoroughly tied down, trapped by the society and people she despises and disregards. The comparison with Lily Bart is inevitable, yet I can't help but be softer for Charity, if only because of her youth and inexperience.
Moderate: Pregnancy, Abandonment, Adult/minor relationship, and Death of parent
