When Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American, is brought to Europe by her wealthy Aunt Touchett, it is expected that she will soon marry. But Isabel, resolved to determine her own fate, does not hesitate to turn down two eligible suitors. She then finds herself irresistibly drawn to Gilbert Osmond, who, beneath his veneer of charm and cultivation, is cruelty itself. A story of intense poignancy, Isabel's tale of love and betrayal still resonates with modern audiences.
But now she neither taunted him with his fallacies nor pretended that her own confidence was justified; if she wore a mask, it completely covered her face. There was something fixed and mechanical in the serenity painted upon it; this was not an expression, Ralph said — it was a representation. She had lost her child; that was a sorrow, but it was a sorrow she scarcely spoken of; there was more to say about it than she could say to Ralph. It belonged to the past, moreover; it had occurred six months before, and she had already laid aside the tokens of mourning. She seemed to be leading a life of the world; Ralph heard her spoken of as having a “charming position.” He observed that she produced the impression of being peculiartly enviable, that it was supposed, among many people, to be a pr...

Isabel，一个拒绝生活在牢笼里的，勇敢的，热爱学习新知识的女性。最终还是被困在了牢笼。而更令人觉得可悲的是，她潜意识里的选择自由是依靠自己去找到生命中的另一半，但这个人却觊觎的是isabel继承的财产。这是多么讽刺和无奈啊。 但我佩服她的勇气，即使并不快乐，也还是拒绝了他人的安排，选择了自己面对。结局固然是残忍的，但这不是作者安排的，而是isabel自己选择的。

She is so lucky to do what she wants, to find herself, but she is so unlucky to see the truth of men.

看完很压抑。 另外，封面这个女孩子就是女主角的样子，一点点漂亮，聪颖，纯真，不懂世事，在老练狡猾的欧洲人那里备受折磨；电影版的的确太艳丽。

终于看完这本令人mindblowing大部头。自以为清醒独立实际上一直被他人利用受骗

尽管评论家们认为比起《鸽之翼》，《一位女士的画像》并不是James最成熟的作品，但是我个人还是更偏爱后者，尤其感叹James真是具备理解女性的潜力。虽然我觉得Osmond和Isabel的婚姻转折太快实在是有点难以理解，但不妨把这看成一种melodrama也算瑕不掩瑜。结尾也非常喜欢，即便Isabel只是一种type，那也是我见过的最有层次的type。

六七年前看到Isabel结婚就停住，这一次两个月看完。Isabel的思想走在那个时代前面，尽管她最后落入了自己给自己的陷阱，还是两次。现代无数追求完美和自由的年轻女性在走着她的老路。文笔细腻让这么一个老套故事也看的人欲罢不能。稍后可以看Nicole演的同名电影了
