Publicada en 1884, entre El Doctor Centeno y La de Bringas, obras con las cuales ofrece una suerte de triptico, Tormento gira en torno a la figura de Amparo Sanchez Emperador, joven huerfana apocada e irresoluta en quien confluyen los sentimientos y deseos de Agustin Caballero -indiano riquisimo, hecho en la vida dura y agreste del nuevo mundo y deseoso de integrarse en la sociedad a la que ha regresado- y de Pedro Polo, sacerdote arrebatado y de aspero caracter a quien asfixia su falta de vocacion. Con la hermosa Amparo como piedra de toque, tanto Polo como Caballero encarnan la eterna pugna galdosiana entre Naturaleza y sociedad, rodeados de una magnifica galeria de personajes secundarios, como Felipe Centeno, Jose Ido del Sagrario, el padre Nones y, sobre todo, Rosalia y Francisco Bringas, que dan vivacidad extraordinaria al relato
