Chapter III — Frivolous Cupid
Chapter III opens with a sense of confusion surrounding Smugg's unexpected engagement, which seems out of place to his peers, who view him as neither particularly charming nor socially impressive. As the group of friends shares daily life preparing for exams, Smugg becomes the subject of mild curiosity and quiet ridicule. Yet, beneath his seemingly ordinary demeanor, he carries a private routine that breaks the monotony. Mornings that once held sleepy lectures or idle chats now find Smugg missing, which…-

Chapter V — Frivolous Cupid
Chapter V opens amid the ever-bubbling atmosphere of Poltons Park, where guests trade not only pleasantries but pointed glances and subtle moves in a game of social chess. The narrator, a quietly attentive observer, first paints Jack Ives as bold and straightforward—one of the few men at ease in courting Trix Queenborough despite her wealth and status. Rather than being intimidated, he thrives on the challenge she presents, while others circle cautiously, weighed down by propriety or calculation. Trix,…-

Chapter VI — Frivolous Cupid
Chapter VI begins with the quiet rustle of leaves and the hum of bees in an English orchard, where a philosopher sits reading, lost in his abstract thoughts. He is deeply immersed in a dense treatise on ontology, absorbed in reasoning that floats high above the tangible world around him. His detachment from nature’s softness and life's emotional tides is deliberate, shielding himself behind intellectual walls. It is in this meditative state that Miss May finds him. She arrives, seemingly playful, yet…-

Chapter VII — Frivolous Cupid
Chapter VII unfolds with a storm of unintended consequences stirred by Duke Deodonato’s well-meaning but overzealous decree. Believing in the virtues of matrimony as a stabilizing force, the Duke orders all unmarried men over twenty-one to wed within three weeks. What begins as a social reform soon spirals into chaos. Women, interpreting the Duke’s public declarations as a sign that he will marry one of them himself, begin to refuse all proposals. This unintended collective standoff delays the entire…-

Chapter VIII ‑Frivolous Cupid
Chapter VIII opens with Ashimullah once again caught in the tightening grip of court expectations, his personal beliefs increasingly at odds with the roles imposed on him by his royal duties. Although once a Christian, his conversion to Islam was more a matter of necessity than conviction, and the Sultan’s recent insistence on his maintaining a traditional Muslim household—with multiple wives—tests his integrity. Ashimullah has no desire to take more wives, not from fear or disdain, but out of deep…-

Chapter II — Immediacy
Chapter II presents a fundamental shift in how philosophy might approach life—not as something to be dissected from a distance, but as something to be encountered directly through lived time. Henri Bergson proposes that the essence of existence can only be grasped by immersing oneself in the continuity of experience, what he calls duration. Unlike fixed ideas or systems, duration unfolds, reflecting the natural flow of consciousness and life itself. Bergson sees this not just as a metaphysical insight,…-

Chapter III begins by investigating how perception evolves from raw experience into structured thought, revealing a spectrum that moves from the immediacy of sensation to constructed concepts. Henri Bergson does not view experience as static or neatly divided; instead, he explains that what we often call facts are not final, but moments within a continuum. Each moment serves both as a foundation for what follows and as a result of what preceded. This flow creates a layered understanding of reality, where…

Chapter IV offers a striking departure from traditional philosophical thought by challenging how we perceive and interpret reality. Henri Bergson insists that what we commonly call perception is not simply a private mental image but a direct connection with the real world. However, our practical needs limit this connection, pushing us to filter and simplify what we experience. What reaches our awareness is only a fraction of what exists, trimmed by usefulness and habit. In this sense, ordinary perception…

Chapter V invites readers into Henri Bergson’s original vision of inner experience, a philosophy that reshapes how we understand thought, time, and freedom. He departs from the prevailing view of consciousness as a collection of separate parts. Instead, he argues that mental life flows like a melody, where each note influences the one before and after. Bergson sees consciousness as layered and continuous, not mechanical or static. This movement, which he calls “duration,” cannot be sliced into…
