Born to humble parents in Normandy, Duroy acquires inside knowledge of Parisian society and politics through his friendship with Madeleine Forestier, the wife of a former comrade. Forestier helps Duroy attain status and professional success by leveraging her contacts and writing some of his articles. They marry soon after, only for her to later become his nemesis.
