![]() ![]() ![]() Realistically, it cannot: Mathilde’s identity as a wealthy society woman is borrowed for a night, and it will be returned with the necklace in the morning. Ultimately, the reader is also aware that the interest that these men take in Mathilde probably will not change her life. The result is that a kind of narrative tension runs through this scene: the reader wonders just how effectively Mathilde has truly disguised herself as a wealthy woman. What's more, readers might wonder how Mathilde will return to her normal life now that she has-apparently-experienced what it feels like to have wealth and status. So, the reader is aware that the interest of the men in the room may be exaggerated and distorted by Mathilde’s ego, unbeknownst to her (a double irony). ![]() Though this story is told from a third-person limited point of view, it focuses intimately on Mathilde’s interiority. ![]()

It is not surprising that Wharton and James developed a number of parallel interests. Her approach to the themes which she shared with James was much more direct than his: She took a more sweeping view of the action of a story and omitted the myriad details, qualifications, and explanations which characterize James’s work. As she matured, however, Wharton developed an artistic viewpoint and a style which were distinctly her own. Wharton knew James and admired him as a friend and as a writer, and some of her early short stories-those in The Greater Inclination and Crucial Instances, for example-do resemble James’s work. Further, both James and Wharton used ghost stories to present, in allegorical terms, internal experiences which would be difficult to dramatize in a purely realistic way. Each of these authors wrote a number of stories regarding such themes as the fate of the individual who challenges the standards of society, the effect of commercial success on an artist, the impact of European civilization on an American mentality, and the confrontation of a public personality with his own private self. Because many of Edith Wharton’s ( Janu– August 11, 1937) characters and themes resemble those of Henry James, her work has sometimes been regarded as derivative of his. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book coincides with a major national Bad Religion reunion tour that will start in October of 2010.
