Henry James masterfully presents a protagonist torn between different cultural values. I wonder what inspired this nuanced portrayal of morality in the story.

The subtle hints of longing and disconnect made me reflect on the immigrant experience. Did others pick up on how these themes resonated with personal journeys?

The backdrop of France adds layers to the protagonist's internal conflicts. I'm curious whether the location was chosen for its symbolic significance or for the story's mood.
