THE TRAGIC STORY OF ADÈLE HUGO: WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who’s to blame for the tragic story of Adèle Hugo?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) covers the story of Adèle Hugo, a tragic story of unrequited love and mental decline. Daughter of the famous writer Victor Hugo, described as more interested in public affairs than his nearest and dearest, did being the child of a star lead to her demise? Was Adèle experiencing an extreme case of Limerence, a term uncoined at the time? Or perhaps it was her own unrealistic expectations of love that’s to blame. Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
