The Portrait of a Lady How does Henry James use imagery in The Portrait of a Lady? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 03:55 Last updated by Jill W on 04 Sep 21:20
One example of James' use of imagery can be found in the character of Pansy. Pansy, like her name, is pure, soft, and weak-willed, and James uses descriptive langauge throughout to enhance these traits.
