The tragedy of Isabel Archer in The portrait of a ladyGarcia, Rosalia Angelita Neumann January 1994 (has links)
A importância da tragédia clássica, assim como da arte grega em geral, tem sido analisada não só individualmente mas, também, em relação a muitas obras que foram produzidas na história da literatura. William Shakespeare, por exemplo, escreveu várias peças que contém elementos de tragédia, ou possuem uma visão trágica da vida Hamlet, uma das obras mais conhecidas do autor, pode ser lembrada como sendo uma tragédia moderna. A própria ideia de tragédia moderna é importante neste trabalho, já que através de alguns conceitos, pode-se explicar a transposição de elementos de tragédia clássica a s obras de diferentes períodos históricos, com as necessárias e naturais transformações que a tragédia sofreu devida a s diferenças de tempo, espaço, cultura, etc. De qualquer modo, o efeito duradouro desta antiga forma de arte pode dar origem a inúmeros estudos. Será analisada nesta dissertação a visão trágica do romance The Portrait of a Lady, de Henry James, publicado em 1881, atrav6s das ações da personagem principal e nas mudanças que ocorrem no rumo dos acontecimentos dentro do romance. Isabel Archer, a heroína do romance em estudo, enfrenta ambiguidade e contradições internas ao julgar e escolher a ação que ira tomar, ação esta que ira modificar o rumo de sua vida. Apesar de haver, também, na tragédia clássica, um herói, ou heroína, enfrentando a difícil questão de decidir qual ação deve tomar, esta decisão não só depende muitas vezes de fatores externos ( questões familiares, de estado, ou influencia divina), mas pode influir nestas próprias questões. / The importance of classical tragedy, and Greek art in general, has been analyzed in itself and in relation to many works which were produced throughout the history of literature. The idea of "modern tragedy" is important in this sense, since it will explain the transportation of elements of Greek tragedy to literary works of diverse historical periods, with the necessary and natural transformation tragedy went through due to the differences of time, place, culture, etc. In any case, the long-lasting influence of this ancient form of art is a source of a great number of studies The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, published in 1881, is a modern novel which will be analyzed in this dissertation as having a tragic view of life. This can be seen through the actions of the principal character and in the turn of events which occur. The modern elements of tragedy present in the novel will be related to the classical ones to analyze the dilemma the heroine, Isabel Archer, faces, and to describe the ambiguity and contradictions this heroine deals with in judging and choosing the action she will take The necessity to organize the narrative patterns which indicated the tragic view in James' novel, led to a brief review of some ideas taken from semiotics, specifically those connected to the study of the polarity of signs in language. In this way, signs could be extracted from the novel to form two pairs of poles which functioned as a means of interpreting the tragedy of the heroine, Isabel, through the ambiguity present in the images used in narrative.

Personal autonomy : philosophy and literatureVice, Samantha Wynne January 1999 (has links)
Gerald Dworkin's influential account of Personal Autonomy offers the following two conditions for autonomy: (i) Authenticity - the condition that one identify with one's beliefs, desires and values after a process of critical reflection, and (ii) Procedural Independence - the identification in (i) must not be "influenced in ways which make the process of identification in some way alien to the individual" (Dworkin 1989:61). I argue in this thesis that there are cases which fulfil both of Dworkin's conditions, yet are clearly not cases of autonomy. Specifically, I argue that we can best assess the adequacy of Dworkin's account of autonomy through literature, because it provides a unique medium for testing his account on the very terms he sets up for himself - ie. that autonomy apply to, and make sense of, persons leading lives of a certain quality. The examination of two novels - Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day and Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady - shows that Dworkin's explanation of identification and critical reflection is inadequate for capturing their role in autonomy and that he does not pay enough attention to the role of external factors in preventing or supporting autonomy. As an alternative, I offer the following two conditions for autonomy: (i) critical reflection of a certain kind - radical reflection, and (ii) the ability to translate the results of (i) into action - competence. The novels demonstrate that both conditions are dependent upon considerations of the content of one's beliefs, desires, values etc. Certain of these will prevent or hinder the achievement of autonomy because of their content, so autonomy must be understood in relation to substantial considerations, rather than in purely formal terms, as Dworkin argues.

Jamesian Women: A Readers Theatre Adaptation from Selected Novels of Henry JamesWicker, Patricia Elizabeth Frazier 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to illustrate the power image of Henry James's female protagonists through a Readers Theatre adaptation of his novels, Daisy Miller, The Wings of the Dove, and The Portrait of a Lady. Chapter I includes an introduction and defines the purpose of the thesis. Chapter II briefly examines biographical information on James. Chapter III includes the analysis of the three selected novels in relation to preparation of a performance based script for Readers Theatre. In the Appendix is the Readers Theatre script with the inclusive transition and introductory material. The illustration of a typical Jamesian woman reveals a philosophic view of the human possibilities in freedom, power, and the destructive elements that limit an independent spirit.

The Finest Entertainment: Conscious Observation on Film in Adaptations of Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady, The Wings of the Dove, and Washington SquareBailey, Rachael Decker 15 March 2006 (has links) (PDF)
The works of Henry James are renowned for their dense sub-text and the manner in which he leaves his reader to elucidate much of his meaning. In the field of adaptation theory, therefore, James presents somewhat of a problem for the film adaptor: how does one convey on screen James' delicate implications, which are formative to the text without actually existing on the printed page? This project not only works to answer that question, but it also addresses a more serious question: what does adaptation have to offer to the student of literature? In the case of Henry James, the film adaptations of his novels expose the trope of voyeurism which functions as one of the central operative mechanisms in the novels, allowing both authorial omniscience into the minds and lives of the characters, as well as the creation of a voyeuristic character through whose perceptions the reader's knowledge is filtered. In examining recent film adaptations of The Portrait of a Lady. The Wings of the Dove, and Washington Square, it becomes apparent that the key to adapting James is careful attention to this trope of voyeurism, which ultimately becomes more important to a successful adaptation (an adaptation which most closely reproduces James' observations and biases rather than those of the director) than exact fidelity to the plot itself. With these considerations in mind, I have indicated that Jane Campion's 1996 adaptation of The Portrait of a Lady most successfully achieves James' purposes, highlighting both the on-screen voyeurism of Ralph Touchett, then using techniques (lighting, camera angles, editing, sound) to similarly construct the viewer as voyeur. Agniezka Holland's Washington Square, however, ignores James' careful positioning of Catherine Sloper as an object of visual amusement to her father and creates an insipid film that plays the drama as a mercantile transaction gone awry. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Iain Softley's The Wings of the Dove bloats the construct of viewer as voyeur into ineffectuality through his use of full nudity to capture the eye of the audience, ensuring that the film's images, rather than its story, are all that is remembered.
