Later into the novel, however, Daisy’s attitudes towards actions start to unfold. As specified by Fitzgerald, Daisy’s “face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget” (Fitzgerald 9). Certainly, the readers can deem favorable characteristics from Daisy; she has the impression of being a lovable and
In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Daisy is portrayed as a modern woman; she is sophisticated, careless and beautifully shallow. Daisy knows who she is, and what it takes for her to be able to keep the lifestyle she grew up in, and this adds to her carelessness and her feigned interest in life. In all, Daisy is a woman who will not sacrifice material desires or comfort for love or for others, and her character is politely cruel in this way. Daisy’s main strength, which buoyed her throughout her youth and when she was in Louisville, is her ability to know what was expected of her and feign cluelessness.

With that said, there I believe there is no definitive answer on whether or not Daisy Miller is the correct title for James novella. It is interesting to explore the reasons for Frederick Winterbourne in that it the novella is seen through his perspective and a majority of the encounters of characters are shaped by his impressions towards them. While, the story is seen through Winterbournes eyes his main focus is on Daisy, and trying to solve her. Once Daisy dies, and is “solved” the story seems to end as without her and her mystery there is perhaps no longer a story to be told. Yet, as I explored deeper into the text it became apparent that maybe this was not a story about either character, and both where symbols foreshadowing a culture clash between American and European culture.
