| Summary | “The Europeans” by Henry James is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around siblings Felix and Eugenia Young, who arrive in Boston, seeking to connect with their American relatives. The opening chapters introduce their contrasting personalities while setting the stage for their interactions with the Wentworth family and the cultural observations that ensue from their arrival. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Felix and his sister, Eugenia, as they navigate their arrival in a city marked by a gloomy atmosphere. Felix is depicted as cheerful and enthusiastic, contrasting with Eugenia’s melancholy disposition as she observes the environment around them. Their dynamic is explored through their dialogue, as they reflect on their feelings about their new surroundings and their expectations of familial engagement. The introduction of their distant relatives, the Wentworths, hints at an exploration of cultural differences, family dynamics, and societal expectations that will shape their experiences in America.
