Daisy Miller Loss Of Innocence
[pic] Daisy Miller is a 1878 novella by Henry James. It portrays the confused courtship of the eponymous American girl by Winterbourne, a compatriot of hers with much more sophistication. His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet in Switzerland and Italy. Her lack of understanding of the social mores of the society she so desperately wishes to enter ultimately leads to tragedy.

She likes to make friends to those wise gentlemen, likes to travel and jogging with them. But the only man she loved is Winterbourne. I think Daisy is familiar with another character—Alice.

Once they went to castle together, talk and laugh. Although she always say” you’re stuff!”, she knows that only he can give her all his belief, tolerate, and understanding. He can answer all her strange question and respect her, no matter how freeness she is, no matter how many people dislike her.

She was lost to the world.
Just as the end of the story. She caught the disease and died. The last time she met winterbourne, he told she that if she going round at night again, she’ll catch the disease. She answered” I never was sick, and I don’t care to get the roman fever.”
She is so confident and fearless, but that time the walls in her heart have already collapsed.

Daisy·Miller
I choose this book just because the front cover is beautiful. Of course, this is an interesting story written by the Henry James. Daisy Miller which is the most famous and popular novel of Henry James, is also regarded as the first international novel. The story describes a very pretty and charming American girl named Daisy Miller who is very open and fond of social activities. Because of her free behaviors, she is wildly considered as a flirt. People all think that she is out of the manners and uncultured. Gradually the lover Winterbourne also doesn’t believe her. At last, she dies of fever with all the scandals. Her self-esteem and self-respect are destroyed. At first, I thought this was a common romantic love story, a beautiful lady meet a gentleman in a sunshine afternoon. But then it goes into a totally different way. Actually the book focuses on the culture conflicts. Daisy Miller represents new type young single American girls, who have far more freedom than her European Counterparts. She is active, open and innocent. But unfortunately, her innocence kills her. I don’t think she should behave too open in a conservative environment. It’s silly of her to do such kind of things which can invite so many rumors .If she wants to win people’s acceptance and respects; she should obey some social rules. But in reality she doesn’t care and does anything she wants. She dies at last. It is not Winterbourne’s fault to lose trust on her. All that she has done are too hard for him to understand and accept. She makes acquaintances with so many gentlemen and she even goes out with them at late night. It’s no wonder that they would misunderstand her. I admit that she is really a kind girl to treat everyone fairly and friendly. Maybe she is too innocent to live in this world.
