الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at analyzing the psychological features of the masculine characters in Henry James's three novels taken as a sample: (i) Roderick Hudson (1876)*, (ii) The Portrait of a Lady (1881)* and (iii) The Golden Bowl (1904)*.

It dealt with some concepts of Freud's psychology and their application to the study in the conflict of the behavior of the masculine characters in James' three novels.

The study discussed the three psychic zones of the characters' mental processes (the id which is the source of all aggressions and desires, the ego which is the rational governing agent of the psyche and the superego which is the moral censoring agency).

The masculine characters, in this study, had been analyzed one by one in each novel.

The present study revealed that Rowland, in Roderick Hudson, had been the superego of Roderick; he had saved him from his id trends, and led him to the right path accepted by society.

It also revealed that Ralph, in The Portrait of a Lady, had been the superego of Isabel who guided her through her search for knowledge and independence.

It showed how Osmond, in The Golden Bowl, had been a dictator, who represented the authority of the hated father and how Adam Verver had been the superego of his family members.

It also showed the psychological development the masculine characters had undergone through these three novels.
