The Disentanglers by Andrew Lang is a comedic novel that explores social entanglements, particularly those tied to romantic relationships and family expectations. The story follows Merton and Logan, two young men facing financial difficulties, who come up with a unique and humorous plan to solve their problems. They create a service offering ""disentanglers"" - mediators who help resolve familial objections to marriages, especially those considered unsuitable by family members. At the beginning of the novel, Merton and Logan find themselves in a dire financial situation and are frustrated with their lack of prospects. Their conversation reveals their concerns about love, marriage, and societal pressure to conform. Merton's idea of a ""disentangling"" service serves as a satirical commentary on the rigid expectations placed on romantic relationships and marriage during the time. The novel uses humor and wit to critique social conventions, particularly the way families often interfere in the romantic choices of individuals. The ensuing adventures of Merton and Logan reflect the absurdities of these social norms, as they navigate the challenges of their unconventional business venture.
