Rezumat

The present paper aims at analyzing the representation of the consciousness of Self in Henry James’s work through the lens of his brother’s theory, William James, who tackles this subject in the first volume of The Principles of Psychology (1890). From all the three elements of the Self, according to W. James, the spiritual Self comes above the material and the social ones. The study considers the same elements of the Self, and their hierarchy represented in the major character, Isabel Archer, of the novel The Portrait of a Lady (1880) by Henry James. Moreover, the research has shown that the heroine’s hierarchy of the selves is different from W. James’s one. It appears that in the novel The Portrait of a Lady Isabel regards the social Self more important than the spiritual one, the fact which later determined her behavior and decisions.
