Summary "The Golden Bowl — Complete" by Henry James is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of wealthy individuals as they navigate complex relationships and emotional entanglements, centering particularly on the Prince and Maggie Verver as they prepare for their upcoming marriage. The opening of the novel introduces the Prince as he wanders through London, reflecting on his own feelings of restlessness and the gravity of his impending marriage to Maggie Verver. He struggles with the expectations placed upon him by his lineage and the financial implications of his union, which has been facilitated by Maggie's father, Mr. Verver. The dialogue between the Prince and Maggie showcases their playful dynamic while hinting at deeper tensions regarding identity and societal expectations. Additionally, the introduction of Mrs. Assingham as a significant figure in the Prince's life sets the stage for further exploration of themes such as affection, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships that are central to the narrative.
