Daisy Miller

'Ah, you are cruel! said the young man,' She's very nice young girl. She is completely uncultivated.' Winterbourne went on.


     I rear Daisy Miller. Its author is Henry James. He was born in New York in 1843 into a wealthy, intellectual family. Daisy Miller was first published in the June and July 1878 issues of Cornhill magazine, in Britain. It was an immediate success and gained James a reputation as an international author. The story is based on a piece of gossip that James recorded in his notebook.

     The story is about a pretty young American girl, Daisy Miller, who is travelling around Europe with her mother and younger brother. Daisy meets a compatriot, Winterbourne, who is fascinated by his open and friendly manner. However, Daisy's flirtatiousness is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet and her lack of understanding of unsaid rules of society ultimately leads to tragedy.

     In the book, being uneducated, behaving innocent is better for women. This idea is against the present idea. If I lived in the world of Daisy Miller, I would be tired all the time.
