Abstract
Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth is a captivating literary work that delves into the complexities of social expectations, wealth, and the consequences of a woman's choices in the Gilded Age of New York City. This article explores the novel's central themes, characters, and narrative structure, shedding light on Wharton's incisive critique of the society in which her characters navigate. Through the lens of the protagonist, Lily Bart, readers witness the challenges and limitations placed upon women in a patriarchal and materialistic world. Wharton's nuanced portrayal of class and privilege, as well as her commentary on the pursuit of status, provides a rich tapestry for analysis. This article delves into the enduring relevance of The House of Mirth and its exploration of the human desire for social acceptance and the sacrifices made in its pursuit.
