Emily Montague

Exploring the theme of disillusionment, the narrator reflects on the futility of human desires and the pursuit of happiness in a flawed world. With a critical eye on moral writers, the text suggests that their promises of guiding readers to joy ultimately lead to the bleak realization that happiness is unattainable. This ironic take on philosophical musings emphasizes the exhaustion of such discussions and the preference for originality over repetitive moralizing.
