The protagonist of Henry James' 1881 book "The Portrait of a Lady" is Isabel Archer, a vibrant young American who visits Europe after receiving a sizable inheritance. Isabel is adamant about living life on her terms and cherishes her independence. Her luck, though, turns sour when she associates with cunning people who take advantage of her ignorance. Within the social restrictions of the 19th century, the story delves into issues of treachery, independence, and the intricacies of individual decision-making. James's work is a pillar of literary realism because of its complex story and profound psychological insight.
