The Daisy Miller Written by Henry James

The book will not be interesting unless you'll bring some conflicts into the book. All the paperwork's written by famous people were charming just because writers opened for us different kinds of life's conflicts. The Daisy Miller written by Henry James is not an exception. A tragic story that was destroyed by pride and prejudice; a story, where people were complicating their life by following boring rules; story that force you think about the real values of life. Moreover, the author describes woman's beauty and innocence that makes book even more charming. There three conflicts appear in the book.

First of all, the story describes different traditional views of society, where Miller's family is out of the "normal frame."Mrs. Costello, the Winterbourne's aunt doesn't like the relationship of her nephew and Daisy. "But I really think that you better not meddle with little American girls that are uncultivated, as you call them. You have lived too long out of the country. You will be sure to make some great mistake," (15) Said Mrs. Costello to Winterbourne. She doesn't like Millers because of their close relationship with courier. She also thinks Daisy is a shameless girl for agreeing to visit the Castle with Winterbourne after they have known each other for only couple hours. "Flirting is a purely American custom; it doesn't exist here,"(48) she says. Mrs. Costello is an American woman, who has lived in Europe so long, that she forgot that Daisy is just a typical American girl and acts different from Europeans ladies only because she grew up without any restrictions.

On the other hand, Daisy shows that she is against the European's rules. "The young ladies of this country have a dreadfully poky time of it, so far as I can learn; I don't see why I should change my habits for them," says Daisy Miller. She is flirting with different men, taking walk with 'mysterious Italian', dancing all evening with same partners and receiving visits at late night. She is a representative of a young American woman and she doesn't want to change herself just to be accepted by the European society.

People who confuse us by their fake attitude are representing second conflict that appears in the book. Winterbourne is an American who has lived most of his life in Europe, tries to be Europeanized and acts like people from European society that Mrs. Costello and Mrs. Walker also do. Winterbourne is "addicted to observing and analyzing" feminine beauty. However, he spends a lot of time trying to analyze and understand Daisy. Instead of being with Daisy, Winterbourne attempts to persuade Daisy to separate from Giovanelli; however, Daisy finds that game interesting and refuses any help that is offered.

Another fake representative of European society is Giovanelli who is an Italian of unknown background and origins. He
