From the Paper:

"The idealism of Henry James is apparent in his characterization of Isabel Archer in "Portrait of a Lady." Within the novel we see that James expresses an idealistic worldview that embraces respect and humility, emotion, good conscience, freedom and affection for country and family. However, within James' idealism we find that the author ascribes to a belief that there is a narrow path toward what constitutes the good life and the few there are that discover it."
