Tonight's journey takes us through The Real Thing, by Henry James, offering a moment of calm and reflection.
• SUMMARY •
"The Real Thing" is a short story by Henry James that delves into the complexities of art, authenticity, and social class. The story revolves around an artist who hires a couple, Major and Mrs. Monarch, to pose for his illustrations. Despite their ideal appearance, their lack of adaptability makes them unsuitable models, highlighting the tension between surface reality and deeper artistic truth.
• BACKGROUND •
Henry James was an American-British author known for his rich, complex prose and keen insights into human nature. His works often explore the inner lives of characters and the subtleties of social interactions. "The Real Thing," published in 1892, is one of James's shorter works, yet it encapsulates his skill in blending psychological depth with a critique of societal norms.
