At first his wealth inspires respect but as his circumstances are mysteriously reduced he becomes shunned by those around him and soon his only remaining visitors are his two beautifully dressed daughters. Goriot's fate is intertwined with two other fellow boarders: the young social climber Eugene Rastignac who sees a way to gain the acceptance and wealth he craves and the enigmatic figure of Vautrin who is hiding darker secrets than anyone.
