Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

Their long years together had shown him that it did not so much matter if marriage was a dull duty, as long as it kept the dignity of a duty: lapsing from that, it became a mere battle of ugly appetites. 真爱与婚姻，第一步就错了，步步错，真是悲哀。

It was not the custom in New York drawing-rooms for a lady to get up and walk away from one gentleman in order to seek the company of another. Etiquette required that she should wait, immovable as an idol, while the men who wished to converse with her succeeded each other at her side. But the Countess was apparently unaware of having broken any rule 物化女性的鬼习俗！Ellen好样的！

除了最后二十页，前面的篇幅极其无聊。可能是我无法设身处地地想吧。感觉文章架构其实有一点像四世同堂，讲的是家庭伦理关系影射社会现象。而表达纽约在十九世纪初期的样子其实没有《了不起的盖茨比》写的引人入胜。最后二十页是点睛之笔，写出了社会的改变，让我去真正理解前面所讲的故事，理解May独立的人格，和情人间所有的无奈。书中的纽约和现在的纽约也相差甚远了。把这书比做一次改变的切面，其实写的还不错了。

即使有万般理由，即使当时美国的上层社会就是这么古板到令人窒息，可最后还是让自己成为了年轻时自己最讨厌的人。Archer多年后的结局，让人唏嘘的同时，也不得不说一句性格决定命运吧。多年后，都没法和自己的过去和解，也是太遗憾了。真是，觉得他配不上Ellen

人这一生，要有勇于追求自己想要的一切的勇气。外界环境，眼光，责任，时常束缚着我们。勇敢面对，三思后行，逃避快速做决定，以后可能会付出更大的代价。
