Olive, who is described as plain and nonchalant about her appearance, only proves that more as the novel progresses. James, shows her as an obsessive women, who cares about two things only, the women's suffrage movement and Verena Tarrant. ***need transition***.
When portraying the similarities between, the distinctly different sisters, James uses irony. "Mrs. Luna had made it worse by becoming so instantly personal. There was nothing in the world so personal as Mrs. Luna; her sister could of hated her for it if she had not forbidden herself this emotion towards individuals.(7)" This is ironic because, if Olive had the capacity, she would inevitably hate Luna for being "so instantly personal. Yet, Olive, also contains this quality herself. After witnessing Verona's oratorical presentation for the first time, Olive invites her to visit, when Verena does come, Olives actions and words are also "instantly personal" "I want to know you I felt that I must last night, as soon as I heard you speak I think we ought to be friends You are remarkable (73-74). " Olives reaction to Verena, after just meeting her, are the same reactions that Luna had with Basil, that Olive hated so much. In this passage, the narrator also makes a comment, "It !.
was this glance that was the beginning; it was with this quick survey, omitting nothing, that Olive took possession of her.

The one thing Olive "hates" the most about her sister, is one of the first things she does when she meets Verena.
