Daisy Miller

Throughout life each of us as individuals are brought up to conform to the values, norms, and ethics of the society in which we live. What we often find when analyzing the values of different cultures and societies are different standards with which we live. These standards may be based on religion, different social groups in which people belong, as well as the social environment that surrounds us. Each and every culture is very unique in its own way and expects all individuals to conform to their own systems. When individuals of different cultures are brought together perceptions of one another are based on ones own societal beliefs and the value systems they are brought up with.

He stated, "when you deal with natives you must go by the custom of the place. Flirting is purely and American custom; it doesn't exist here" (p. 45). Although Winterbourne warned Miss Miller about her flirtatious behavior she did not change her actions. She covered her actions by stating that she was engaged to Giovanelli. This behavior and being out all night, eventually led her to her death. While on her deathbed she felt inclined to tell Winterbourne that she was not engaged. I believe that this message can be interpreted in two different ways: the fist being that she understood Winterbournes warning and realized that she was not conforming to the wishes of the European society, or secondly that she had feelin
