Ht story is told by a narrator auctoriale but emphatically from the perspective of its Daisy's countryman Winterbourne. Throughout the story remains unclear what Daisy really think and what considerations they make.

Many wealthy Americans were in the second half of the nineteenth century a "grande tour" through Europe and many meet in cities like Rome, Paris and the Swiss Lakes, where they discussed extensively together. James knew this habit from my own experience. However, he also felt that a newGENERATION accepted less and allows the old values ​​that controversy in Daisy Miller emphatically discussed.

The question arises whether it is mostly naive and innocent orCALCULATING and somewhat common, especially towards her mother and Winterbourne. The dramatic death of Daisy at the end of the story, however, takes this question again: isULTIMATELY a feeling of sympathy inescapable, regardless of the verdict on her uninhibited nonconformist behavior.
