orphan with a club foot, through his struggles and relationships. The title is

are reflected in the protagonist. The novel also delves into art, with
references to renowned painters and their works. "Of Human Bondage" has been
adapted into TV and film, with various notable actors portraying the
characters. The story's impact is evident in popular culture, with references
in films like "Spider-Man: Homecoming." Overall, the novel is a compelling
exploration of human emotions, relationships, and the pursuit of contentment.
