""Two Bad Blue Eyes"" by Rita is a late 19th-century novel that centers around Lauraine Douglas, a young woman poised to marry but torn by unresolved emotions and conflicting obligations. As Lauraine approaches her wedding day to Sir Francis, she reflects on her past, particularly her deep connection with Keith Athelstone, an old friend whose memory still stirs feelings of love and longing. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and the societal expectations placed upon women during the period. It opens with Lauraine's bittersweet thoughts on the eve of her marriage, where she finds herself filled with uncertainty about the life she is about to enter. Her wedding day, meant to be a celebration, becomes a moment of introspection, as Lauraine grapples with her role as a dutiful daughter and bride, weighed down by the pressure of fulfilling familial and social expectations. The arrival of a letter from Keith rekindles past emotions and forces Lauraine to confront her inner conflict. As the story unfolds, Lauraine must navigate the tension between her desires for personal happiness and the constraints of duty, leading to a journey of self-discovery and emotional turmoil.
