The House of Mirth delves deeply into Lily Bart's psychology. The author describes clearly what Lily values and why. Throughout the book, Lily behaves in accordance with her own value system. Other characters in the novel also have their goals, which they strive to achieve. The reader observes the consequences of all these interactions and relationships.
The story and events were consistent with the characters' personalities, which made the book feel real and convincing.
What do you think about this book? Do you know any other books which analyze human character and relationships as well as this one?

Have you read *Madame Bovary* by Flaubert?
I haven’t read it, but it sounds interesting.
