Daisy Miller

In Daisy Miller, Henry James slowly reveals Daisy's character through her interaction with other characters, especially Winterbourne, the main character. "The author uses the story of a third person, but the thoughts and views on Winterbourne dominate." Therefore, the public no longer knows about Daisy as Winterbourne. ” This technique helps to preserve the ambiguity of Daisy and attracts the audience to the story.

At first glance, Daisy is portrayed as “cute American flirting,” whose innocence Winterbourne does not know, and yet he says that he “is almost grateful for having found the formula suitable for Miss Daisy Miller” (James 1563). “As many people make first impressions, Winterbourne needs to plan Daisy immediately. At the beginning of the stereotype seems to fit. "Daisy is young, ingenious, and talkative and shows the whole society, especially the gentlemen’s society that she had in New York (1562)."

Daisy Miller may be uneducated, as Winterbourne and his aunt say, but she is funny. "One of her humorous manifestations happens at Mrs. Waller's party when Winterbourne criticizes her for her relationship with Giovanelli." He says that she is not “I understand that here” is not among young married women. "Daisy shouts:" I thought they did not understand! "And then he says:" It seems more suitable for young unmarried than older married people. Daisy is a bit rustic but chic. “It has natural elegance and a mixture of innocence and impartiality, but its character goes beyond the scope of this unique natural beauty (1564 and 1574).
