jealousy and greed. The story revolves around McTeague, a dentist, and his
infatuation with Trina, leading to their marriage and subsequent financial
struggles. Trina's refusal to use her lottery winnings and McTeague's loss of

mining community. The novel's dramatic conclusion takes place in Death Valley,

Francisco and real-life events. "McTeague" has been adapted into films, radio
