Daisy Miller Research Paper

Improved Essays
Daisy Miller by Henry James was very interesting to read. Personally, I did not like Daisy at all because it seemed she was intentionally toying with Winterbourne’s emotions. Winterbourne was a sweet guy, always looking after her well being. What was wrong with Daisy? Why would she want the guy that does not care and takes her to a colosseum where she will contract a deadly sickness? I do not feel bad for Daisy due to the fact people, like Wintebourne and Mrs. Walker, tried to help and warn her; however, she did not listen. Winterbourne must have really loved this girl. No matter what he was always there; even when she chose to parade around with Mr.Giovanni and push Winterbourne to the side after he’d came all the way to Rome to see her again.
