by Patricia de Berker
Anyone who reads The Forsyte Saga, as opposed to seeing it on television or hearing it on the radio, will be struck by the unreality of the relationships between the men and women in Galsworthy's novel. But beneath the outlines of this story is there a hidden theme which unconsciously made these relationships credible to our parents and grandparents? Mrs. de Berker concentrates on Galsworthy's portrait of Irene and explores the theme psychologically.
