“…From her engagement with Osmond, we can divide her development of characters into two phases: The first is her recognition of the world. "She is attractive, innocent and intelligent", [1]and when she turns down Lord Warburton's proposal for marriage, Mr Touchett "put a little wind in her sails" [1] and promotes her to know well of the world. The second is her recognition of herself.…”

In The Portrait of A lady Henry James presents the character conflicts in three levels: the double-folded characters of the heroine Isabel Archer, her idea of ideal marriage and the cultural conflicts between Europe and America to provide the reasonableness and necessity for her marital tragedy. He highly praises Isabel for her strong belief in and persistent quest for her ideal and shows how difficult this quest is in the real world.

Some important novelists have written a great novel early in their careers and have produced lesser works thereafter, whereas others have improved their work gradually over long periods and have made their major contributions late in their lives. Which of these patterns a novelist follows appears to be systematically related to the nature of his work. Conceptual writers typically have specific goals for their books, and they produce novels that emphasize plot; experimental writers' intentions are often uncertain, and their novels more often stress characterization. By examining the careers of 12 important modern novelists, the author demonstrates that conceptual novelists-including Herman Melville, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway-are generally those who have declined after writing landmark early novels, while, in contrast, experimental novelists-including Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Virginia Woolf-have typically arrived at their most important work later in their careers. As is the case for modern painting and poetry, the ranks of great modern novelists have included both conceptual young geniuses and experimental old masters.
