Reflection on Daisy Miller

Adrian Perez Daisy Miller was an interesting story. It is about the relationship of Winterbourne, an American that has lived most of his life in Europe and Daisy, an American girl that comes to Europe. They meet each other in Europe and Winterbourne is interested in Daisy because he is accustomed to the European society and he sees Daisy as something new. However, later Winterbourne does not know what to think about Daisy because he goes back and forth about her being innocent or a basically a tramp because of the way she acts and sees things. Personally I think Winterbourne didn’t need to think much about how was Daisy, he just needed to go with the flow and keep seeing her and knowing her and then make a conclusion about her. Daisy was just acting like she was and I don't think that Winterbourne understood that because he bacame so acustomed to the European society, their rules and the way they think and view other people. I think that he had feelings for her and he did not realize it. In another way, I think that Daisy didn’t understand that she was in another country with different views, culture and social perspective and she needed to act differently and oblique by the social rules and norms, and things would have turned out differently for her at the end. Its obvious that all of this is a learning experience for Winterbourne and is certainly going to affect his life and his future.
