''La Comédie Humaine - Volume 17. Études de mœurs: La cousine Bette; Le cousin Pons'' by Honoré de Balzac is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This volume, part of a larger work, explores the intricate social dynamics and moral complexities of French society during the Restoration era. It delves into themes of jealousy, ambition, and the impacts of socioeconomic status on personal relationships, primarily focusing on the character of Cousine Bette, who is driven by envy and resentment towards her more fortunate relatives. The opening of ''La cousine Bette'' introduces the titular character, Lisbeth Fischer, as she interacts with her more glamorous cousin, Adeline Hulot, and her daughter, Hortense. Set in Paris, we witness the contrast between the two women: the beautiful, affluent Adeline and the bitter, unassuming Lisbeth, whose envy festers beneath her exterior. As the story unfolds, we see Lisbeth's sharp wit and underlying bitterness come to the forefront, heightened by her observations of the lavish lives of those around her. This initial glimpse sets the stage for a deeper exploration of themes relating to beauty, wealth, and human folly within Parisian society.
