内容記述 | What Maisie Knew (1897) was written by Henry James after he had experienced a plight upon appearing on stage to receive "good applause" from the audience. His drama, Guy Domville (1895), had been despised by the public. Yet, the incident afforded him the opportunity to try a "new type of work". After he began to write again, his new works differed slightly from those he had composed before his works were performed on stage. Some good critics even say his works changed considerably. In the middle of his career as a writer, James challenged the so-called "scandal stories in middle class society", and after this unfavorable acceptance of Guy Domville, he continued his experimentation with this type of story. In this essay, I have focused on some "attractive people". Sir Claude, Mrs. Wix and Mrs. Beale, as well as Maisie. The story begins with one "decision". The heroine, Maisie, is forced to visit each of her parents at some time. Maisie possesses the trait of not being a dependent person. However, in beginning her own adventure of consciousness, she manages to notice quite a few things around her, and she begins to make some decisions for herself. Initially, I began to examine how the various characters parted with their "good" partners. Frequently, separation occurred without Maisie understanding the complete circumstances. James seems to place these characters in bad situations; nevertheless, they start to find another way to work through their problems. Next, I gave attention to the various characters* life stages. They often state that they are now "free". Through this freedom, they all manage to find their new partners, and start a new life; however, it must be noted that some of them do fail in their attempts to start anew. No matter when they try to lead a "new life", they need our heroine. Competition for Maisie* s attention arises. As the story progresses, it becomes quite apparent just how indispensable the heroine really is. We are able to understand what is happening to the various characters through her eyes. Finally, I examined how the various characters were able to make their final and important decisions. The dynamics between the various characters are quite interesting. What is most charming is the final decision that Maisie herself makes. She makes a decision to be with Mrs Wix. Of course, she is always in the center of this story, and James has decided to give her best "sensibility" among all of the characters. Eventually, our heroine makes the best decision. The decision may cause problems for her, but she takes her new step independently. I believe that Maisie has considered both Mrs. Wix to be better than Sir Claude even though she has a "biased" moral sense. It is quite possible that Maisie has come to realize that her father-in-law is unreliable because he has failed to make his own independent decision. | |||||||||
