What if we were the true architects of our own failures ? Tom Rakewell could have lived happily ever after had he been content with his mutual love for Ann Trulove. But poverty and ambition lead him down the wrong path: from brothel to gambling house, from absurd marriage to disgrace, ruin and madness, our hero, manipulated by the evil Nick Shadow, travels all the roads of vice and degradation.
