Talking about social norms in the story “Daisy Miller” by Henry James, add some evidence in the underlined portion of this paragraph:
In “Daisy Miller,” the titular character challenges social norms by associating with men of questionable reputations and behaving in ways deemed inappropriate for a woman of her class. (Add evidence here: For example, she does X and Y, and people respond by doing 123). Her behavior earns her a reputation as a flirt and a woman of loose morals, leading to her eventual downfall. The strict social norms of high society in Europe shape the views of the other characters in the story, leading to Daisy’s ostracization and tragic fate.
Same with this paragraph:
As Winterbourne reflects on Daisy’s situation, he acknowledges that “she was too light and childish, too uncultivated and unreasoning, too provincial, to have reflected upon her ostracism” (James). (Focus more on Winterbourne here since he is the main viewpoint on Daisy and spends all his time trying to determine if she is a good girl. Show us his judgments at various points and how he ultimately judges her not worthy, leading to her death. )
