He lives a quiet life with his faithful servant Martine and young niece Clotilde. Pascal is a man of science, striving to find the ultimate cure for all diseases. This puts him at odds with his niece, who is horrified by his denial of religious faith. Clotilde also distrusts Pascal's lifelong ambition to create a family tree on scientific principles, based upon his theories of heredity. Tensions in the household are fueled by Pascal's scheming mother, Félicité, as the final episode in the great Rougon-Macquart saga plays out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoctor Pascal\u003c\/em\u003e is the passionate conclusion to Zola's twenty-novel sequence, and the most eloquent expression of the ideas on heredity and human progress that have underpinned it.
