Clоse reаd the pаssаge frоm Henry James' Washingtоn Square that you have been provided in hard copy. In your response you should do all of the following: Describe and analyze the details of the passage, including (but do not limit yourself to) a discussion of James’ use of language and overall writing style. Analyze how this paragraph contributes to the reader’s understanding of Catherine as a character and the larger themes of the novel. Discuss either the Mona Simpson introduction or Cunningham afterword (discussing both is OK, but not required) as you reply. You may do this as you address requirements 1 or 2 or as a separate part 3 of your answer. As always, be sure your response has a clear central argument and that you support your assertions with well-analyzed textual evidence. (Response should be about 2 robust paragraphs (or possibly 3 shorter ones).)     Below is the last paragraph of Chapter 32 of Washington Square. There are a total of 35 chapters in the novel.   The Doctor’s idea that the thing was a “blind” had its intermissions and revivals; but it may be said on the whole to have increased as he grew older; together with his impression of Catherine’s blooming and comfortable condition.  Naturally, if he had not found grounds for viewing her as a lovelorn maiden during the year or two that followed her great trouble, he found none at a time when she had completely recovered her self-possession.  He was obliged to recognise the fact that if the two young people were waiting for him to get out of the way, they were at least waiting very patiently.  He had heard from time to time that Morris was in New York; but he never remained there long, and, to the best of the Doctor’s belief, had no communication with Catherine.  He was sure they never met, and he had reason to suspect that Morris never wrote to her.  After the letter that has been mentioned, she heard from him twice again, at considerable intervals; but on none of these occasions did she write herself.  On the other hand, as the Doctor observed, she averted herself rigidly from the idea of marrying other people.  Her opportunities for doing so were not numerous, but they occurred often enough to test her disposition.  She refused a widower, a man with a genial temperament, a handsome fortune, and three little girls (he had heard that she was very fond of children, and he pointed to his own with some confidence); and she turned a deaf ear to the solicitations of a clever young lawyer, who, with the prospect of a great practice, and the reputation of a most agreeable man, had had the shrewdness, when he came to look about him for a wife, to believe that she would suit him better than several younger and prettier girls.  Mr. Macalister, the widower, had desired to make a marriage of reason, and had chosen Catherine for what he supposed to be her latent matronly qualities; but John Ludlow, who was a year the girl’s junior, and spoken of always as a young man who might have his “pick,” was seriously in love with her.  Catherine, however, would never look at him; she made it plain to him that she thought he came to see her too often.  He afterwards consoled himself, and married a very different person, little Miss Sturtevant, whose attractions were obvious to the dullest comprehension.  Catherine, at the time of these events, had left her thirtieth year well behind her, and had quite taken her place as an old maid.  Her father would have preferred she should marry, and he once told her that he hoped she would not be too fastidious.  “I should like to see you an honest man’s wife before I die,” he said.  This was after John Ludlow had been compelled to give it up, though the Doctor had advised him to persevere.  The Doctor exercised no further pressure, and had the credit of not “worrying” at all over his daughter’s singleness.  In fact he worried rather more than appeared, and there were considerable periods during which he felt sure that Morris Townsend was hidden behind some door.  “If he is not, why doesn’t she marry?” he asked himself.  “Limited as her intelligence may be, she must understand perfectly well that she is made to do the usual thing.”  Catherine, however, became an admirable old maid.  She formed habits, regulated her days upon a system of her own, interested herself in charitable institutions, asylums, hospitals, and aid societies; and went generally, with an even and noiseless step, about the rigid business of her life.  This life had, however, a secret history as well as a public one—if I may talk of the public history of a mature and diffident spinster for whom publicity had always a combination of terrors.  From her own point of view the great facts of her career were that Morris Townsend had trifled with her affection, and that her father had broken its spring.  Nothing could ever alter these facts; they were always there, like her name, her age, her plain face.  Nothing could ever undo the wrong or cure the pain that Morris had inflicted on her, and nothing could ever make her feel towards her father as she felt in her younger years.  There was something dead in her life, and her duty was to try and fill the void.  Catherine recognised this duty to the utmost; she had a great disapproval of brooding and moping.  She had, of course, no faculty for quenching memory in dissipation; but she mingled freely in the usual gaieties of the town, and she became at last an inevitable figure at all respectable entertainments.  She was greatly liked, and as time went on she grew to be a sort of kindly maiden aunt to the younger portion of society.  Young girls were apt to confide to her their love affairs (which they never did to Mrs. Penniman), and young men to be fond of her without knowing why.  She developed a few harmless eccentricities; her habits, once formed, were rather stiffly maintained; her opinions, on all moral and social matters, were extremely conservative; and before she was forty she was regarded as an old-fashioned person, and an authority on customs that had passed away.  Mrs. Penniman, in comparison, was quite a girlish figure; she grew younger as she advanced in life.  She lost none of her relish for beauty and mystery, but she had little opportunity to exercise it.  With Catherine’s later wooers she failed to establish relations as intimate as those which had given her so many interesting hours in the society of Morris Townsend.  These gentlemen had an indefinable mistrust of her good offices, and they never talked to her about Catherine’s charms.  Her ringlets, her buckles and bangles, glistened more brightly with each succeeding year, and she remained quite the same officious and imaginative Mrs. Penniman, and the odd mixture of impetuosity and circumspection, that we have hitherto known.  As regards one point, however, her circumspection prevailed, and she must be given due credit for it.  For upwards of seventeen years she never mentioned Morris Townsend’s name to her niece.  Catherine was grateful to her, but this consistent silence, so little in accord with her aunt’s character, gave her a certain alarm, and she could never wholly rid herself of a suspicion that Mrs. Penniman sometimes had news of him.
