"The Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James tells the story of Isabel Archer, a spirited and independent American woman who inherits a considerable fortune. Set in Europe, the novel explores Isabel's journey of self-discovery as she navigates the complexities of love, ambition, and societal expectations. Captivated by her newfound freedom and possibilities, Isabel rejects several marriage proposals, including one from her passionate suitor, Caspar Goodwood, and instead marries Gilbert Osmond, an enigmatic and manipulative Englishman living in Italy. Despite the warning signs from her confidante, Madame Merle, Isabel remains blinded by Osmond's charm.
