Abstract: The Portrait of a Lady is the finest one of Henry James’ early works. It arouses wild public attention due to delicate descriptions of character’s inner world. In this novel, an innocent American girl Isabel refuses an English nobleman and a rich American businessman, but marries a hypocrite and ends up with an unhappy life after marriage. This paper is to analyse the heroine Isabel’s tragic marriage from the perspectives of the weaknesses in Isabel’s character as well as the influences of other people and the social background, in order to help readers form a better understanding of Isabel’s life experiences.
Key words: Henry James; The Portrait of a Lady; Isabel; tragic marriage
