A portrait novel is not so much concerned with conveying a situation though events (like 1984, Grapes of Wrath or Gone With the Wind) but with giving a comprehensive view of a person (like Wuthering Heights which takes Heathcliff and Cathrine from childhood to death). It has great intimacy, showing in great and powerful detail what makes up this person... on the inside as well as out.
