Nathaniel goes insane worrying about the potential of his fiancée being made from wood. But romanticizes the a complacent and silent partner which is why he falls in love with Olympia the automaton.

Speaks about embodying dark energy, letting it take ahold of one’s being.

olya_hakob's review against another edition

A dark, Gothic tale exploring the fuzzy boundaries between madness and sanity, between perception and reality. A nice extra to the gloomy tale is the ever-present question of what makes machines seem human-like. Turns out sometimes it's just yawning when listening to a story or singing out of tune :D
