Henry James is a writer who is renowned for the international theme in his works, which bridges the New World and the Old World. Daisy Miller is one of the novels in James’ early stage of literary career, which won Henry James popularity in the western world. The novel portrays the subtle relationship between Daisy and Winterbourne. The changing attitude of Winterbourne to Daisy shows Winterbourne’s changing reflection to the two cultures. From a young American who has been so assimilated into old European civilization to an emancipated American, Winterbourne finally chose to live in Europe and ignored secular prejudice. The change not only shows he tried to merge the two cultures also Henry James’ idea of cultural integration.
