This paper examines Dr. Sloper’s house in Henry James’ Washington Square (1880) as a space of discourses in conflict. There appears, in Washington Square, multiple discourses, such as the discourse about the emerging metropolis, a critique of sentimental romance, and the comparison between Europe and America. Dr. Sloper, an author of those discourses, maintains his control over the house by ruling out the chances of other discourses which might destroy it. Dr. Sloper's way of ruling discourses includes a prohibition, an exclusion, a reasonable judgement, and an induction which are similar principles to those presented by Michel Foucault. In the house, dominated by her father’s discourses, Catherine Sloper has had no chance to express her own voice. However, as she meets Mrs. Penniman and Morris Townsend, and recognizes the world beyond her father’s order, Catherine comes to realize that her father’s order is not reasonable but vicious. Catherine gradually tries to hold her own private space separated from that of her father, which promotes to disrupt Dr. Sloper’s order. This means not only that Dr. Sloper no longer predominates over Catherine but also that she now 'performs' the role of an ‘author' who employs irony. In the end, Catherine establishes her own order of discourse in the house and finds her own voice.
Abstract
This paper examines Dr. Sloper’s house in Henry James’ Washington Square (1880) as a space of discourses in conflict. There appears, in Washington Square, multiple discourses, such as the discourse about the emerging metropolis, a critique of sentimental romance, and the comparison between Europe and America. Dr. Sloper, an author of those discourses, maintains his control over the house by ruling out the chances of other discourses which might destroy it. Dr. Sloper's way of ruling discourses includes a prohibition, an exclusion, a reasonable judgement, and an induction which are similar principles to those presented by Michel Foucault. In the house, dominated by her father’s discourses, Catherine Sloper has had no chance to express her own voice. However, as she meets Mrs. Penniman and Morris Townsend, and recognizes the world beyond her father’s order, Catherine comes to realize that her father’s order is not reasonable but vicious. Catherine gradually tries to hold her own private space separated from that of her father, which promotes to disrupt Dr. Sloper’s order. This means not only that Dr. Sloper no longer predominates over Catherine but also that she now 'performs' the role of an ‘author' who employs irony. In the end, Catherine establishes her own order of discourse in the house and finds her own voice.
