The story follows the Primrose family as they fall from wealth and happiness into hardship and social disgrace through unexpected misfortunes.

Goldsmith uses satire and comedy to expose the hypocrisy of the
upper classes while celebrating the resilience of simple, virtuous living. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
