《英美文学选读》（美国文学部分）American LiteratureChapter one : The romantic periodI. Emerson’s transcendentalism and his attitude toward nature:1.Transcendentalism—it is a philosophic and literary movement that flourish in New England, as a reaction against rationalism and Calvinism. It stressed intuitive understanding of god without the help of the church, and advocated independence of the mind.2. Emerson’s transcendentalism:The over-soul—it is an all-pervading power goodness, from which all things come and of which all are a part. It is a supreme reality of mind, a spiritual unity of all beings and a religion. It is a communication between an individual soul and the universal over-soul. And he strongly believe in the divinity and infinity of man as an individual, so man can totally rely on himself.3.His toward nature:Emerson loves nature. His nature is the garment of the over-soul, symbolic and moral bound. Nature is not something purely of the matter, but alive with God’s presence. It ex ercise a healthy and restorative influence on human beings. Children can see nature better than adult.II. Hawthorne’s Puritanism and his black vision of man:1. Puritanism—it is the religious belief of the Puristans, who had intended to purify and simplify the religious ritual of the church of England.2. his black vision of man—by the Calvinistic concept of original sin, he believed that human being are evil natured and sinful, and this sin is ever present in human heart and will pass one generation to another.3. Young Goodman Brown—it shows that everyone has some evil secrets. The innocent and na?ve Brown is confronted with the vision of human evil in one terrible night, and then he becomes distrustful and doubtful. Brown stands for everyone ,who is born pure and has no contact with the real world ,and the prominent people of the village and church. They cover their secrets during daily lives, and under some circumstances such as the witch’s Sabbath, they become what they are. Even his closed wife, Faith, is no exception. So Brown is aged in that night.III. The symbolism of Melville’s Mobby-Dick1.The voyage to catch the white whale is the one of the mind in quest of the truth and knowledge of universe.2. To Ahab, the whale is an evil creature or the agent of an evil force that control the universe. As to readers, the whale is a symbol of physical limits, or a symbol of nature. It also can stand for the ultimate mystery of the universe and the wall behind which unknown malicious things are hiding.IV. Whitman and his Leaves of Grass :1. Theme: sing of the “en-mass” and the self / pursuit of love, happiness, and ***ual love / sometimes about politics (Drum taps)2. Whitman’s originality first in his use of the poetic form free verse (i.e. poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme),by means of which he becomes conversational and casual.3.He uses the first person pronoun “I” to stress individualism, and oral language to acquire sympathy from the common reader.Chapter two : The realistic periodI. The character analysis and social meaning of Huck Finn in Adventure of Huckleberry Finn by Mark TwainHuck is a typical American boy with “a sound heart and a deformed conscience”. He appears to be vulgar in language and in manner, but he is honest and decent in essence. His remarkable raft’s journey down on the Mississippi river can be regarded as his process of education and his way to grow up. At first, he stands by slavery, for he clings to the idea that if he lets go the slave, he will be damned to go to hell. And when the “King” sells Jim for money, Huck decides to inform Jim’s master. After he thinks of the past good time when Jim and he are on the raft where Jim shows great care and deep affection for him, he decide to rescue Jim. AndHuck still thinks he is wrong while he is doing the right thing.Huck is the son of nature and a symbol for freedom and earthly pragmatism. Through the eye of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed. Twain contrasts the life on the river and the life on the banks, the innocence and the experience, the nature and the culture, the wilderness and the civilization.II. Daisy Miller by Henry James1. Theme: The novel is a story about American innocence defeated by the stiff, traditional values of Europe. James condemns the American failure to adopt expressive manners intelligently and point out the false believing that a good heart is readily visible to all. The death of Daisy results from the misunderstanding between people with different cultural backgrounds.2. The character analysis of Daisy: She represents typical American girl, who is uninformed and without the mature guidance. Ignorance and parental indulgence combine to foster he assertive self-confidence and fierce willfulness. She behaves in the same daring naive way in Europe as she does at home. When someone is against her, she becomes more contrary. She knows that she means no harm and is amazed that anyone should think she does. She does not compromise to the European manners.3. The character analysis of Winterbourne: He is a Europeanized American, who has live too long in foreign parts. He is very experience and has a problem understanding Daisy. He endeavors to put her in sort of formula, i.e. to classify her.III. Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser:1. Theme: The author invented the success of Carrie and the downfall of Hurstwood out of an inevitable and natural judgment, because the fittest can survive in a competitive, amoral society according to the social Darwinism.2. The character analysis of Carrie: She follows the right direction to a pursuit of the American dream, and the circumstances and her desire for a better life direct to the successful goal. But she is not contented, because with wealth and fame, she still finds herself lonely. She is a product of the society, a realization of the theory of the survival of the fittest.3. The character analysis of Hurstwood: He is a negative evidence of the theory of the survival of the fittest. Because he is still conventional and can not throw away the social morals, he is not fitted to live in New York.Chapter Three: The Modern PeriodI. Ezra Pound and his theory of Imagism1. The principles: a. direct treatment of the thing; b. to use absolutely noword that does not contribute to the presentation; c. to compose in the sequence of the musical; d. to use the language of common speech and the exact word; e. to create new rhythms; f. absolutely freedom in the choice of subject.2. Imagism is to present an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time. An imagistic poem must present the object exactly the way the thing is seen. And the reader can form the image of the object through the process of reading the abstract and concrete words.II. Frost and his poetry on nature:Frost is deeply interested in nature and in men’s relationship to nature. Nature appears as an explicator and a mediator for man and serve as the center of reference of his behavior. Peace and order can be found in Frost’s poetical natural world. With surface simplicity of his poems, the thematic concerns are always presented in rich symbols. Therefore his work resists easy interpretation.III. F. Scott Fitzgerald and his The Great Gatsby1. Theme: Gatsby is American Everyman. His extraordinary energy and wealth make him pursue the dream. His death in the end points at the truth about the withering of the American Dream. The spiritual and moral sterility that has resulted from the withered American Dream is fullyrevealed in the article. However, although he is defeated, the dream has gave Gatsby a dignity and a set of qualities. His hope and belief in the promise of future makes him the embodiment of the values of the incorruptible American Dream .2. The character analysis of Gatsby: Gatsby is great, because he is dignified and ennobled by his dream and his mythic vision of life. He has the desire to repeat the past, the desire for money, and the desire for incarnation of unutterable vision on this material earth. For Gatsby, Daisy is the soul of his dreams. He believe he can regain Daisy and romantically rebels of time. Although he has the wealth that can match with the leisured class, he does not have their manners. His tragedy lies in his possession of a naive sense and chivalry.IV. Ernest Hemingway’s artistic features:1. The Hemingway code heroes and grace under pressure:They have seen the cold world ,and for one cause, they boldly and courageously face the reality. They has an indestructible spirit for his optimistic view of life. Whatever is the result is, the are ready to live with grace under pressure. No matter how tragic the ending is, they will never be defeated. Finally, they will be prevail because of their indestructible spirit and courage.2. The iceberg technique:Hemingway believe that a good writer does not need to reveal every detail of a character or action. The one-eighth the is presented will suggest all other meaningful dimensions of the story. Thus, Hemingway’s language is symbolic and suggestive.V. The character analysis of Emily in A Rose for Emily:Emily is a symbol of old values, standing for tradition, duty and past glory. But she is also a victim to all those she cares and embrace. The source of Emily’s strange ness is from her born pride and self-esteem, the domineering behavior of her father and the betrayal of her lover. Barricaded in her house, she has frozen the past to protect her dreams. Her life is tragic because the defiance of the community, her refusal to accept the change and her extreme pride have pushed her to abnormality and insanity.。

黛西米勒 Analyze the Main Character of The Daisy Miller

Analyze the Main Character of The Daisy MillerI start to read the Daisy Miller about 2 weeks ago. At first, I searched some information about the author from the Internet, and then glanced the basic content of novel, when I read the several chapters ahead of the novel; I feel it was so boring; the complex relationship would kill me. When I nearly finished the novel, everything was suddenly enlightened.The Daisy Miller is written by Henry James , who was born in1843 and died in 1916, Henry James, O.M. (April 15, 1843 – February 28, 1916) was an American writer, regarded as one of the most important writer of 19th-century literary realism. James spent the last 40 years of his life in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. He was affected deeply by European culture. He was good at showing the most realistic social phenomenon to readers by analyzing people’s language and psychology. Many of his works was popular to readers. In the early time, he created The Portrait of a Lady and Daisy Miller for the subject of the international theme. In his early phase of creating, the center characters are almost innocent and kindhearted American young people. They felt dissatisfied with affluent life and went to Europe regardless the long distance. These youngsters were both interested in the places of interest and the custom of Europe. Nevertheless, they were disappointed or assimilated by the social environment which was full of treacherous and sophisticated people. Daisy Mille r and The Portrait of a Lady had fully shown the right theme. It was typical for James’s fiction about the international theme of the tradition-less Americans facing the complexity of European life and it was also typical for realist writers to examine the interplay between innocence and experience.Daisy Miller is a wealthy, young, American girl from upstate New Y ork, traveling around Europe with her mother and younger brother. Daisy is a curious mixture of traits. She is spirited, independent, and well meaning, but she is also shallow, ignorant, and provincial—almost laughably so. She offers the opinion that Europe is ―perfectly sweet,‖ talks with shameless monotony about the tiresome details of her family’s habits and character, thinks Winterbourne might know an Englishwoman she met on the train because they both live in Europe, and wonders if Winterbourne has heard of a little place called New Y ork. Daisy is also a tiresome flirt. She has no social graces or conversational gifts, such as charm, wit, and a talent for repartee, and she is really interested only in manipulating men andmaking herself the center of attention. Throughout Daisy Miller, Winterbourne obsesses over the question of whether Daisy is a ―nice‖ girl, and Daisy’s behavior never reveals whether she is or not. Winterbourne accepts that Daisy is vulgar but wonders whether she is innocent, and we never really find out the truth. Daisy does often seem less than innocent—Winterbourne does, after all, catch her with Mr. Legionella late at night at the Coliseum. However, whether such actions are or are not appropriate is more a matter of social convention than any firm moral expectation. In the end, the truth we find out about Daisy is only what Winterbourne thinks is true. Henry James developed the international novel, which brings together persons of various nationalities who represent certain characteristics of their respective countries. Although James wrote a novel with an international setting, he was concerned about how Americans behaved in an international setting. Europeans were more cultured, more concerned with art, and more aware of the subtleties of social situations. Americans were innocent, and more concerned about moral issues. When he wrote Daisy Miller in 1879, he thought American spirit more important than European elegant. That was mainly because capitalism had led people to seek fortune at all adventures at that time. The social convention was so bad that the author appealed a new kind of spirit. He could only realize this dream in his novel. James used the image of America as the youthful innocent land. James himself lived in Europe and he knew the rigidity of European culture that the rules under which it lived did not allow any change, and vitality. He saw the decadence of the European culture at that time. But later his view became more complicated. The author seemed to value both the sophistication of Europe and the idealism of America. Even he unveiled Europeans’ ways of the world, hypocrisy, conservatism and degeneration, James admired the rich heritage of the European artistic culture, something that America lacked at the same time. James satirized Americans’ lacking of knowledge, closing eyes and immaturity as well. James’s idea was becoming more objective than ever. It changed as time went on. And at last it modified more like Moderation in our country. We live in society and have to contact with others. We could keep our individual character unless we do not hurt others especially the most part of the society. That is a best way to respect others and protect ourselves. This paper would advocate the thought of mediocrity all the time. James thought American innocent philosophy was better than European sophisticated philosophy. It was reasonable at that time. Butinnocent attitude was easily related to ignorance, sophisticated attitude to arrogance. Both are not favorable to a person’s development.From the story I understand that if you could not change the environment, then you should change yourself. It is not always the case. The sentence should be that if you could not change the environment, you should adjust yourself to the environment. Only one could adapt to the society could he keep his personality. Mediocre philosophy is a rational choice. It helps a person adapt to the new circumstance as soon as possible. Society is not a stage of someone. It is colorful and pluralistic. It is a prerequisite that everyone should keep in mind all the time. One should recognize the social versatility and a fact that he or she would never live isolated from others. A person could live a happy and healthy life unless he has fully understood this truth. How a beautiful novel.(字数统计：1065字）。

daisy_miller

亨利·詹姆斯是十九世纪英美文学界中的一位现实主义文学大师。

他的小说以及文学批评在当时备受关注，他的创作手法新颖独特，见解独到精辟，在文学史上起到了承上启下的作用。

众所周知，亨利·詹姆斯主要以其国际主题小说的创作而驰誉文学界。

1879年，《黛西·米勒》一书的出版使他名声大噪，成为他“国际主题”小说创作的成名作。

究其成功的原因，我们认为除了作者在小说叙事技巧及审美关注点所作的尝试及革新外，关键在于作者所赋予其作品的思想精髓。

小说《黛西·米勒》以欧美人文化价值观念的冲突为轴线展开，因此本文从对比分析冲突入手，旨在揭示与挖掘作者赋予小说《黛西·米勒》的思想精髓。

一、关于人权平等的观念亨利·詹姆斯生长于美国，深受美国资本主义民主观念的熏陶，崇尚自由与平等，他关于人权平等的观念在《黛西·米勒》中有所体现。

女主人公黛西平等待人、不分贵贱等级。

对于花钱雇来的旅游随从尤金尼奥，她一家人都平等对待。

而在欧洲人看来花钱雇来的随从等同于下等人，是不能与雇主平起平坐的，所以科斯特罗太太认为“她们待那位陪同就像待一位熟朋友——好像他是个上等人”，（P47）真是极不可思议。

等级观念在像她这样的欧洲贵族阶层的心里是永远不可忽视的，等级性是其明显的社会标志。

在等级社会里，人的自然本性被忽略了，一些宗教观念甚至将人性等同于神性,将人的自然本性忽略不计。

十六世纪以来的人文主义、人道主义文学的兴起便是对这种人性现状的批判。

马克思主义认为人既具有自然本性又具有社会性，“人性是一个系统综合体，人把自己规定性的各方面属性，如社会的、生物的、精神道德的、理性意识的等等方面，表现为一个不可分割的统一体”。

随着人类文明的进步与发展，突出人的中心地位的思想潮流不可阻挡，小说中黛西的做法便反映了作者的先瞻性。

与欧洲人的做法相反，她会征求这位随从的意见，她会主动地跟他打招呼。

乔万尼利在温特伯恩他们看来只不过是一个冒牌绅士，没有头衔，地位卑微，是一个“给一个便士就写上一行的小文人，再不就是个三流艺术家”，（P121）黛西却不在乎这些，她并没因此瞧不起他，断绝与他来往。

9. Henry James

Henry James’s Writings

The literary career of Henry James is generally divided into three periods. In the first period (1865-1882), James took great interest in international themes. In almost all the stories and novels he wrote during this period, James treated the clashes between two different cultures and the emotional and moral problems of Americans in Europe, or Europeans in America.
Henry James’s Writings

Henry James’s literary criticism is an indispensable part of his contribution to literature. It is both concerned with form and devoted to human values. The theme of his essay “The Art of Fiction” clearly indicates that the aim of the novel is to present life, so it is not surprising to find in his writings human experiences explored in every possible form: illusion, despair, reward, torment, inspiration, delight, etc.

Inferiority_Who_Wants_to_Be_Brave

US-China Foreign Language, June 2023, Vol. 21, No. 6, 235-238doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2023.06.005 Inferiority Who Wants to Be Brave: Daisy Is a RoleModel for WinterbourneXU MengyingUniversity of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, ChinaDaisy Miller is one of the influential works of Henry James, which portrays the subtle relationship of Daisy andWinterbourne. This essay will prove that Winterbourne initially only liked Daisy ’s beautiful appearance. With hisown observation, he gradually and truly falls in love with Daisy, and I think he longs to become a free and unrestrainedperson like Daisy, unaffected by worldly gaze.Keywords: Daisy Miller, Winterbourne, inferiority, self-esteemA Brave Person Who Is Responsible for Her Own ThoughtsThe author thinks Daisy is a person who is responsible for her own thoughts and is not influenced by others. She follows her own heart. So, she thinks she is a true hero, a brave person. Firstly, Daisy has strong critical thinking abilities. Daisy reprimands Winterbourne for not visiting her earlier, but swiftly moves on to other topics. She mentions her plan to stay in Rome throughout the winter, unless they succumb to the fever. Initially, she had feared that Rome would be dull and suffocating, but she now finds it delightful due to the presence of charming individuals and the vibrant “select ” society comprised of foreigners. Unlike other travelers, Daisy appears unconcerned about the enigmatic Roman fever. Instead, she focuses on her own interpretation of social success, immersing herself in the captivating Roman “society ”. Daisy and Winterbourne engage in conversation, during which she expresses her astonishment at Mrs. Walker's insistence on her abandoning Mr. Giovanelli and joining her in the carriage on a previous occasion. Daisy scoffs at the notion that this would have been the “proper ” thing to do, as Mr. Giovanelli had already invited her for a walk in the gardens. Winterbourne remarks that an Italian gentleman would never have asked an Italian lady to stroll through the streets with him. Daisy appreciates that she is not bound by such customs and questions why she should alter her behavior for others. It is not that Daisy disregards all notions of social etiquette and appropriateness; rather, she adheres to her own understanding of what is proper. For her, abandoning Mr. Giovanelli would be a breach of social decency in itself. Winterbourne perceives Giovanelli ’s behavior as influenced by stereotypes associated with “forward ” American women, although Daisy appears unperturbed by this.Secondly, Daisy is not afraid of the eyes of others and will not be swayed by the thoughts of others. And in the face of people who disagree with her, she is polite to defend her own opinion, rather than blushing and arguing with others. Winterbourne goes to fetch Daisy, who appears thrilled to introduce Mr. Giovanelli to Mrs. Walker. Mrs. Walker invites Daisy to join her in the carriage, but Daisy cheerfully declines, stating that she is content XU Mengying, Master, College of Foreign Languages, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, China.DA VID PUBLISHINGDDAISY IS A ROLE MODEL FOR WINTERBOURNE236where she is. Mrs. Walker explains that it is not customary to behave this way, to which Daisy exclaims that it should be. When Mrs. Walker suggests that Daisy walk with her mother instead, Daisy asserts that she is old enough to make her own decisions. Mrs. Walker retorts that Daisy is old enough to be gossiped about. Despite the tension, Daisy continues to smile and questions Mrs. Walker’s meaning, refusing to comply with her request. Winterbourne starts to feel uncomfortable as Daisy claims she doesn’t care to know what Mrs. Walker implies. It is unclear whether Daisy is oblivious to the trouble she is causing or simply chooses to ignore it. Even if Mrs. Walker educates Daisy about local customs, Daisy fails to see why she should conform to them, as she has her own customs influenced by her origins and her independent nature. While Daisy’s defiance seems admirable, in a society with strict rules, it is considered “vulgar”and “wicked”.Daisy begins to blush, captivating Winterbourne. She asks him if her reputation necessitates getting into the carriage. After a moment of hesitation, Winterbourne decides that honesty is the best approach and advises her to comply. Daisy laughs loudly, declaring that she will embrace impropriety. She turns away to walk with Mr. Giovanelli, demonstrating her commitment to asserting her own free spirit, even if it means damaging her reputation with Mrs. Walker.A Person With Low Self-Esteem Who Is Easily Influenced by Others and Does Not Dare toEmbrace His Own IdeasIn my opinion, Winterbourne is an inferior person who does not dare to defend his own opinions, and he is easily influenced by the opinions of others. First, Winterbourne always questioned his own judgment, in other words, he always questions the results of his observations and thoughts. “She seemed to him, in all this, an extraordinary mixture of innocence and crudity” (James, 1995, p. 26). Winterbourne has accompanied Daisy on a tour of the castle across the lake, spending the day together. He has just informed her that he must return to Geneva the following day, prompting an almost tantrum-like reaction from Daisy. She concludes that there must be a woman in Geneva to whom Winterbourne is returning, and she passionately begins to insult this imagined woman, much to Winterbourne’s surprise. He is unaccustomed to women expressing their opinions so openly. While jealousy and protectiveness exist in his world, they are typically masked by socially acceptable behavior, which Daisy seems unaware or unconcerned about. This ignorance of societal expectations makes Daisy appear more innocent to Winterbourne, as she seems completely oblivious to the prescribed behavior for young ladies. However, Winterbourne adopts the language of his aunt, for example, to label Daisy’s behavior as crude, a term often associated with Americans for their perceived lack of subtlety and sophistication compared to their European counterparts. Winterbourne continues to observe Daisy, constantly having to revise or complicate his judgment of her based on new information or observations. Another example, “He was angry at finding himself reduced to chopping logic about this young lady; he was vexed at his want of instinctive certitude as to how far her eccentricities were generic, national, and how far they were personal” (p. 51). Winterbourne has failed several times to run into Daisy or to meet her at her home. He continues to muse over her character, and prior to this passage he wonders if she is too thoughtless to think of him at all, or if she is angrily defiant about his and other people’s judgment about her. His inability to decide between these two options makes him generally angry at his failure to understand Daisy. Winterbourne is a very logical person, and he is usually confident in his ability to reason out a problem—indeed, this is how he has approached the “problem” of Daisy for most of the novel. Only now does he truly grow “vexed” at how little his investigations have been fruitful or satisfying. He still cannot understand or know Daisy. Even worse, he has trouble determining even what kind of unusual behavior sheDAISY IS A ROLE MODEL FOR WINTERBOURNE237espouses: Does it have something to do with her American origins? With her own, individual character? With some combination of the two? Winterbourne has been confident that waiting and watching Daisy can be just as revelatory as plunging into experiences with her, but now he is beginning to doubt whether or not that is the case. From the above examples, it can be seen that Winterbourne has been hesitant about his judgment of Daisy, and the root of this hesitation comes from his lack of trust in his own judgment and thoughts.Second, Winterbourne cares deeply about worldly perspectives and is easily swayed by other people’s opinions. Although he will occasionally defend his opinions, he will question himself as a result.He could not deny to himself that she was going very far indeed. He felt very sorry for her—not exactly that he believed that she had completely lost her head, but because it was painful to hear so much that was pretty and undefended and natural assigned to a vulgar place among the categories of disorder. (James, 1995, p. 49)While touring Rome with his aunt and other expatriates, Winterbourne becomes privy to the gossip circulating about Daisy, along with their judgments and condemnations of her behavior. In some ways, Winterbourne shares their concerns due to his similar social background, which influences his perception of Daisy’s actions, leading him to believe that she is going “very far indeed”. However, he does not agree that her behavior stems from any sinful or malicious intent. He continues to view her as innocent and “natural”. Despite Winterbourne’s attempts to categorize and understand her, he consistently fails, leaving Daisy in a realm of mystery and uncertainty. Even as her closest observer, he finds her motives inscrutable. This is why Winterbourne distinguishes between being “vulgar” and simply being ignorant or innocent, as he believes the latter absolves Daisy of most of her social improprieties.An Inferior Person Who Aspires to Be a Brave Person As the novella progresses, Winterbourne grows, largely from the cult and unconscious imitation of Daisy. At first, Winterbourne is an inferior person who was almost afraid to embrace and assert his ideas. Daisy has always been a brave person with strong critical thinking and daring to express herself. The author thinks that’s the real reason why Winterbourne is drawn to Daisy. So, deep down, Winterbourne adores Daisy’s bravery and freedom. He really wants to be a brave man like Daisy.From the beginning, Winterbourne thinks Daisy is very innocent. It’s just that he always questions his own judgment. Winterbourne meditated a moment. “They are very ignorant—very innocent only. Depend upon it they are not bad” (James, 1995, p. 29). Upon Winterbourne’s arrival in Rome, Mrs. Costello updates him about the earlier arrival of the Millers and their scandalous behavior, particularly Daisy’s habit of attending parties with an Italian man sporting a mustache. Winterbourne appears to carefully consider his aunt’s judgment, although he does not fully embrace it. While he contemplates the evidence presented by his aunt, it is evident that his own experiences with Daisy also influence his perspective. Winterbourne does not outright challenge his aunt's condemnation but rather seeks to provide an explanation. He views “ignorance” as a trait that is not necessarily positive but justifiable in terms of “innocence”,rather than being rooted in malicious intent. Winterbourne attempts to defend the moral character of the Miller family while refraining from justifying their behavior, as he believes it is a matter of social impropriety rather than moral wrongdoing. He places significant importance on his ability to impartially describe and classify the Millers, striving to be an unbiased judge in the situation. However, Winterbourne fails to fully comprehend, or perhaps acknowledge to himself, the extent to which his own fascination with Daisy influences his judgment process.DAISY IS A ROLE MODEL FOR WINTERBOURNE238In the end, Winterbourne still thinks Daisy is innocent. “She was the most beautif ul young lady I ever saw, and the most amiable”; and then he added in a moment,“and she was the most innocent”. Winterbourne looked at him, and presently repeated his words, “And the most innocent?”“The most innocent!” (James, 1995, p. 58). At Daisy’s burial in a Protestant cemetery in Rome, Winterbourne encounters Giovanelli, who appears pale and sickly, no longer displaying his usual clever and stylish demeanor. Winterbourne confronts Giovanelli, blaming him for bringing Daisy to the Coliseum. However, Giovanelli defends himself, albeit unsatisfactorily, by asserting that Daisy always found a way to do as she pleased. Surprisingly, Giovanelli’s words of praise for Daisy alleviate Winterbourne’s anger. The repeated use of the word “innocent”solidifies it as the most fitting description for Daisy, while also raising doubts about whether she and Giovanelli were truly lovers. Giovanelli strongly insists on describing Daisy as innocent. Throughout the novel, Winterbourne has experienced numerous cycles of believing, doubting, and tentatively accepting Daisy’s innocence. Unlike Giovanelli, he presents the word as a question. Winterbourne realizes that any belief or judgment he holds about Daisy can only be posed as a question, rather than stated with certainty. He has believed that by closely observing Daisy and logically analyzing her actions, he would unravel the mystery surrounding this captivating American girl. However, he has not only failed to do so but has also failed to fully live his own life in the process.As a result, Winterbourne considers Daisy to be innocent. It shows that he admires and yearns for such qualities, as well as the self-temperament and courage to defend her own thoughts. In fact, Winterbourne also wants to be a brave actor who dares to break the world’s vision and bravely defend his thoughts and opinions.ReferencesDeakin, M. (1983). Two studies of Daisy Miller.
