## Explanation

The romance between Aymer and Violet is tested by poverty, separation, and tragedy, with their love portrayed as a source of resilience against the corrupting forces of wealth and social pressure.

Lucia's sacrifice of her reputation for her artistic ambition is twisted into a tool for the conspiracy.

Aymer's devotion to beauty and later to Violet suggests a theme of love as a transformative force, though his sacrifices (poaching, selling possessions) are for self-education.

Aymer's poverty forces him to sacrifice his possessions and endure shame to express his love for Violet, culminating in a kiss that marks the happiest time of his life.

Aymer's love for Violet overcomes his pride and the contempt of others, while Waldron's benevolent sacrifice of his own comfort for his daughter's happiness is central.
