Cousin Bette was Balzac's last great novel, and in it he explores power, lust, deception, and revenge. The characters are complex and vividly drawn. Cousin Bette is a woman of breath-taking malice. She plans and executes a diabolic plot of revenge against her own family for slights more imagined than real, destroying herself in the process.
