摘　　要：Isabel Archer, the heroine of The Portrait of a Lady （1996）, a brilliant female figure in the world＇s literary gallery, has aroused interest of critics and the public ever since the novel＇s publication. It seems that Henry James aims at portraying a ＂new woman＂： Isabel Archer who is frequently labeled as an independent lady. This paper analyzes several weaknesses in Isabel＇s personality： caprice, egotism, innocence and ignorance, which cause her blind worship of European civilization.
