Ode on a Grecian URL

This hebdomadal is due before discussion on Friday, December 1st.

Topic 1: The portraits of Portrait

Prof. Ortiz-Robles suggested in lecture this afternoon that the way characters are described in the novel's opening chapters models the characters themselves: Ralph Touchett is described from multiple points of view at the beginning of chapter 5, in the way that he himself understands topics from multiple points of view. Choose any portrait that Prof. Ortiz-Robles didn't touch on in class and examine how its style of description models the personality or mindset of that character. You might think about using this close reading and analysis to develop and support a larger claim about how Henry James treats interiority and exteriority.
