      Père Goriot: Wealthy and doting father impoverishes himself in securing brilliant marriages for his ambitious daughters. Symbolizes the extravagance of paternal sacrifice. Set in Paris in 1819, it follows the intertwined lives of three characters: the elderly doting Goriot, a mysterious criminal-in-hiding named Vautrin and a naive law student named Eugène de Rastignac.
