Summary: "Daisy Miller: A Study" by Henry James is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story explores the complexities of social conventions and cultural contrasts through the experiences of the central character, Daisy Miller, a young American woman traveling in Europe with her family. The narrative primarily focuses on her interactions, particularly with Winterbourne, a young American man who grapples with his feelings for Daisy amidst societal expectations. At the start of the novella, readers are introduced to a luxurious hotel in Vevey, Switzerland, buzzing with American tourists. Winterbourne, the protagonist, is depicted as a curious observer who is particularly taken by Daisy, a beautiful and somewhat unconventional young woman. Their encounter begins when Winterbourne impresses Daisy's younger brother, Randolph, and he soon becomes captivated by Daisy's outspoken nature and American charm. Regardless of her apparent naivety in the context of European societies, Daisy expresses her desire for freedom and enjoyment, which poses challenges to Winterbourne as he reconciles his attraction to her with the rigid expectations of decorum within the social elite. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the clash between American exuberance and the more restrained European social mores. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
