Description

James contrasts two young men: the narrator, a man of action [a Fortinbras, a Laertes], of worldly experience; and Eugene Pickering, his old friend, a man of thought [a Hamlet], of private and intellectual life. James simply gives us one moral dilemma after another; all along asking us which is the best way to live.
