Romantik

Washington Square, written by Henry James and published in 1880, is a poignant exploration of love, family dynamics, and societal expectations set in mid-19th-century New York City. The novel centers on Catherine Sloper, the plain and introverted daughter of Dr. Austin Sloper, a wealthy and respected physician.

Catherine's life is heavily influenced by her father's disapproval. Dr. Sloper, who lost his wife during childbirth, views Catherine as a disappointment; she lacks the beauty and brilliance he admired in her mother. This disappointment manifests in his dismissive treatment of her, stunting her emotional growth and leaving her socially awkward.The narrative takes a turn when Catherine meets Morris Townsend, a charming but financially unstable suitor at her cousin's engagement party.

Despite her father's skepticism about Morris's intentions—believing him to be primarily interested in Catherine's inheritance—the two quickly fall in love and become engaged.Dr. Sloper vehemently opposes the match, fearing that Morris is a fortune hunter. In an attempt to separate them, he takes Catherine on an extended trip to Europe, hoping she will forget Morris.
