| Summary | "L'Immorale: Racconto" by Enrico Annibale Butti is a psychological tale written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Paolo Érmoli, a young man who has recently achieved wealth and social status but grapples with his conscience regarding the means by which he attained his success. The narrative delves into themes of morality, desire, and the consequences of one's actions, particularly in the context of Érmoli's relationship with the beautiful widow Fulvia. The opening of the tale introduces us to Paolo Érmoli as he awakens in his lavish bedroom, enjoying the spoils of his recent victories in life. He reflects on his past struggles and delights in his newfound happiness, particularly in relation to his sentiments for Fulvia. As the morning unfolds, his thoughts oscillate between pleasure and a nagging sense of guilt about his past deeds, hinting at a complicated psychological depth and the moral questions that will permeate his journey. The stage is set for a conflict between his desires and the darker implications of his past actions, primarily concerning his relationship with Fulvia and the consequences that may arise from it.
