In the novella of ：Daisy Miller；, Winterbourne is a young American student who has lived long enough among foreigners to understand the culture and social standard of Europe. ... After Winterbourne exchanges a few words with Daisy, he is amused by her charming, humor and innocence, and starts to consider that his knowledge about American ladies is misleading. ...
At the hotel in Vevey, Winterbourne is not only attracted by the beauty of Daisy, but he is also fascinated by how extraordinary communicative and how tremendously easy to converse with Daisy. ... When Winterbourne mentions to his aunt about the short conversation with Daisy, Mrs. ... Costello has long been followed the Europe・s system; and so Winterbourne hardly convince her.
Unfortunately, Winterbourne listened with interest to what his aunt criticize on Miller・s family and its social status, partly because he has been nourished at school in Geneva, the capitol of Calvinism, that social class is an important issue that shapes his mind about Miss Daisy, as well as his long forgotten people from the native land. ... Yet, he thinks she is extremely innocent,
The result is that he refuses to understand the way Daisy deliberates
Since Winterbourne snubs to know about the core thinking of American ladies, the pioneer thinking of American lady, and relative strong minds compared to European ladies are often mislaid. Winterbourne has long been rooted in the European term that women should be weak and fragile, and dependent to men; on the other hand, Daisy represents the new model of feminism in the late nineteenth century.
