Behind in France, he leaves his recently married wife alone with a young baby. The grain likely isn't the sole incident to have caused this, instead he was planning to leave for a while, and the grain gave him a solid excuse. Martin commits small acts that annoy his family, like stealing grain from his father.Īfter stealing the grain and "heavily disgracing" himself, he runs away from his family. Martin, a young man engaged to de Rols, isn't liked very much by his father or his wife, but his wife is forced to marry him. The characters of the book are heavily burdened by the strains of a feudal, patriarchal society in which they live. There are three main characters, all real people in 16th century France, that hold leading roles in the book Of course, Martin Guerre, his wife, Bertrande de Rols, and Arnaud du Tilh, who is the supposed imposter that has taken over the life of Martin Geurre.
