The Way We Live Now – Anthony Trollope Audiobook | Victorian Society, Greed & Morality Part 1
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Critique (out of 5) Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Anthony Trollope’s The Way We Live Now stands as a sharp moral commentary on the dangers of greed, social vanity, and corruption. From a Catholic perspective, the novel exposes the spiritual decay that comes when wealth becomes an idol and honor is traded for ambition. While not explicitly religious, its themes reinforce the value of integrity, humility, and moral responsibility. Some satire and societal hypocrisy are heavily portrayed, but always with the intent to critique and illuminate — making it both enlightening and thought-provoking.
