What is crucial, however, for the characters' decisions in this text is their political orientations, especially their attitudes toward democracy. While Paul Muniment, a thoroughly rational modernist character, is firmly convinced of the advent of modern democracy, the protagonist Hyacinth Robinson, suspecting the ethical legitimacy of democracy and its destructive nature, turns back to the aristocratic ideology. His doubt, which would reflect the author's own, resonates with the insight of French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville who explored the effect of democracy in America and predicted an inevitable but dubious future of democracy. On the other hand, the Princess Casamassima's enthusiasm for revolution foregrounds the problem of modern democracy which excludes women from the political arena. As French philosopher Jacques Derrida claims in his later work, the aporia of democracy concerning hospitality to o\
