Daysi Miller
Intro
This novella serves as
both a psychological description of the mind of a young woman, and an analysis
of the traditional views of a society where she is a clear outsider. Typical
American young woman in Europe,
Her name is Daisy Miller who is judged by social behavior.
The story is in Vevay, Switzerland, when Frederick is
bored by his life… And visited Europe for meet a women.
Climax
He meets the vivacious young Daisy Miller,
a girl from New York traveling through Europe with her clueless
mother and badly behaved little brother, and his world is turned upside down.
He likes Daisy, but her erratic, flirtatious behavior confuses and irritates
him.
The following winter, he meets up with Daisy in Rome
only to find she's been flirting like crazy with all of the Italian dudes. She
starts hanging out a little too intimately and a little too publicly with an
Italian social climber named Mr. Giovanelli. People start to talk, and
Winterbourne is torn: is she engaged to
Giovanelli or not? He can't get a straight answer.
Winterbourne tries to get Daisy to tone it down and
she makes fun of him for being boring. He almost loses it when he sees her out
alone at night with Giovanelli at the Colosseum, a location where people
typically contract Roman fever (malaria).
End
A few weeks later, she's sick , she's got malaria.
When she dies, her mother passes on a message to Winterbourne: Daisy wanted him
to know she was never engaged to Giovanelli. She in love to Frederick
Winternbourne……
