The length of the novel, Of Human Bondage, nearly six hundred pages in the standard edition, enables Maugham to create an almost Dickensian wealth of lively characters. But the protagonist Philip Carey, and Mildred Rogers, the young woman with whom he is hopelessly in love, stand out as most memorable. Philip is sensitive, intelligent, industrious, and ambitious, and his sufferings elicit the reader's sympathy.
