Abstract

The excerpt to analyse retraces what may be considered as a part of the main body of the plot of the apprenticeship novel Of human bondage by the English writer somerset maugham. The passage I'm about to try to analyse is extracted from the 58th chapter which means that the reader is already half through reading the novel. However, even at this stage we can eventually say that we are at the very beginning of the real action. In fact, the story really begins once the main character, Philip Carey gets acquainted and falls for a young and vulgar waitress called Mildred Rogers who will literally change his life. That passage happens a few days after he actually met that young lady and has already been on a date with her. Philip had wished to see her again and she had accepted.
