Romantic infatuation lies at the heart of Bolesław Prus' novel "The Doll". The story follows Stanisław Wokulski, a businessman entangled in a passionate yet unreciprocated love for Izabela Łęcka, a beautiful but materialistic aristocrat. Prus delves into the complexities of human emotions, particularly the irrationality of love, and the clash between social classes in 19th-century Warsaw.
