THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES (CHAP 9) CLIFFORD AND PHOEBE
In Chapter 9, “Clifford and Phœbe,” of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables, we witness the tragic battle waged by love against the inherited gloom of the Pyncheon house. Hepzibah, though endowed with a high and noble "heroism" by years of sorrow, finds her fierce, devoted affection utterly incapable of saving her brother, Clifford. Yet, a powerful, contrasting influence arrives in the form of Phœbe, a creature of "thoroughly wholesome" simplicity.
Tune in to discover whether this delicate, vibrant spirit can be the catalyst to lead the tormented, outcast Clifford back into the "whole sympathetic chain of human nature".
