Roxane Gay
Wharton masterfully uses this love triangle to explore themes of love, duty, and the conflict between individual desires and societal norms. The book won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize.
Experience this timeless story on Rebind under the guidance of acclaimed writer, professor and cultural critic Roxane Gay. Best known for her New York Times best-selling essay collection, Bad Feminist, Gay brings her insightful commentary and questions to this beloved novel, which she calls her "favorite of favorites.”
The Age of Innocence comes alive with her commentary, nudging you to reflect about critical moments in the plot with thoughtful questions. Read. Watch. Discuss. Repeat. Immerse yourself in Wharton’s masterpiece like never before, only on Rebind.
“Edith Wharton takes great attention with the details that make the world of her novel vibrant and indelible, and I hope you lose yourself in her words as much as I do”
- Roxane Gay
Here are some questions Gay will invite you to ponder while reading The Age of Innocence:
- May seems to know her fiancé is falling in love with Ellen...or is she totally innocent of this? Why do you think she is so kind to Ellen if her fiancé is indeed falling in love with another woman?
- Should the Countess and Newland run off together? Why or why not? How does moral integrity fit into this picture? Or are all of these characters equally dishonest?
