[[caption-width-right:288:A guilty conscience will always confess, the novel.]]
One of the first novels of Émile Zola, published in 1867 before he began his magnum opus, the ''Rougon-Macquart'' series, ''Thérèse Raquin'' tells the story of an adulterous young woman who kills her husband and marries her lover. It doesn't go well.

Thérèse is the daughter of a French captain and an Algerian mother. Her father brings her to France to be brought up by his sister Madame Raquin alongside her son Camille, after which he is never seen again. Thérèse grows up extremely repressed because her desires are always secondary to Camille's demands, wishes, and physical limitations. When she is twenty-one, Madame Raquin marries her to Camille, a marriage without affection on both sides. Camille decides to move the family to Paris so he can start a career.

In Paris, Camille finds work with the railroad while Mme. Raquin and Thérèse set up a hat shop. He also finds Laurent, a childhood friend of his who has grown up to be tall, handsome, and a hedonist. Laurent begins an affair with Thérèse because she is lonely and because he can't afford prostitutes anymore. He visits her daily, until his boss doesn't let him skip out of work anymore, and the lovers must come up with a new plan. They resolve they must [[MurderTheHypotenuse murder Camille]] and then Thérèse will be free to marry Laurent.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't really consider what life as secret murderers would be like, and their crime [[SanitySlippage slowly starts to drive them mad]].

* AssholeVictim
* BreakTheCutie: Madame Raquin
* ButNotTooBlack: Thérèse has an African mother, but doesn't look any different from women of European ancestry.

* DespairEventHorizon: Madame Raquin when she learns that Thérèse and Laurent murdered Camille.
* DisappearedDad: Camille's father is nowhere in the story. His mother raises him alone. Thérèse too, because Mme. Raquin's brother disappeared as well, leaving his daughter behind.
* DoomedMoralVictor: [[spoiler: Mme. Raquin watches Thérèse and Laurent die and gets satisfaction that her son is avenged. However, the ending is ambiguous as to her fate. The implication is she died not long after, but even if she didn't her paralyzed and silent state means that she is completely dependent and will die unless someone finds her.]]

* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Everyone else believes that Camille fell out of a boat and drowned.

* MurderTheHypotenuse: Thérèse and Laurent together kill her husband, Camille.
* MyBelovedSmother: Madame Raquin, though she doesn't really mean to be. But she babies Camille and rules over Thérèse.
