In Chapter Four, James uses specific imagery to expose Charlotte's sense of imprisonment. She is described as being led around by her husband by a silken rope. As company visits the home, Charlotte more and more takes them on a tour of her husband's gallery of art and collectibles. and as this performance is repeated over and over again, Maggie hears her words as a cry of pain.
