Sense of property
– In fact, the term”Forsytism” has become a synonym to the word ‘property’.
Soames Forsyte, the main character of the novel, is an embodiment of the spirit of society where the cult of
property rules the world. He is sure that everything can be bought with money. He regards not only his
pictures, houses and investments as his property but even his wife. Soames is unable to comprehend that
all his property cannot make Irene love him.
The sense of property and money worship on the one hand, and true love and a keen sense of
beauty on the other, motivates the plot of the novel.
