Of Henry James

When I first came cross this book ,I had not thought that it is a love story .After
finished this book ,I have sympathy for the main character--Catherine.She was born in a wealth family ,her father is a flourish person with elegance and wisdom.He proposes to himself to make the best of her.Catherine 'aunt ,Mrs .Penniman,take care of her in her grown time.When she is 20 years old ,a gentleman named Morris Townsend pursuits her .However ,her father looks deep in him with his experience and concludes that he is a selfish man who just care about his daughter 'money .Therefore, he against Catherine connecting him any more. During this time ,her aunt interferes in their relationship, helping Morris Townsend secretly.
As time passes ,Catherine still has strong feeling for Morris Townsend and determines to engages with him ,ignore her father' will. Her father declares that she will not receive any money from him,of course Morris knows this news and he is disappointed that his dream falls apart ,he breaks up the engagement with Catherine. Catherine is heartbroken ,she has done all the things she can do.From them on ,she regulates her days upon a system of her own ,interested herself in charity organizations,hospitals and aid societies,she gains honor among people.Through all her life ,she does not get married ,her father has passed away.Morris comes back without any success,he wants to have her back.How much has her lived ,she has known whose the person he is.She refuses,picking up her piece of fancy work ,has seated herself with it again ---for life ,as it were.
There is something common in our life ,Catherine has devoted all her life to this painful love ,she loves the wrong man,she has not efforts to love another person.This is a sensible story which touches me a lot.Something in this world can not be explained.Life teaches us everything.
