The Promise by William Somerset Maugham —- Review

The short story “The Promise” by William Somerset Maugham is dedicated to the universal feeling, it is about love. But love which was described here has features which can not always be met - it is self-sacrificing.

Another subject which was told in the story is a difference in age in marriage and how society reacts to these unusual cases.

The story left readers the possibility to conclude what the main characters did right and what they did wrong, although it is clear to which actions the author sympathized.
