Henry James was eager to analyze the new experience of Americans having access to the European culture thanks to the industrialization and the possibility to travel faster. In his book, he created two main characters: Daisy Miller and Frederick Winterbourne. Daisy was American and Winterbourne lived most of his life in Geneve, both characters show different traits of the personality, characterizing each society. On one hand, Daisy had the innocence of the new world and the lack of social manners, an "uncultivated" girl according to Winterbourne. On the other hand, Winterbourne was extremely strict and his manner of speaking was as mentioned by Daisy, "stiff". Both were part of different worlds and found in each other a different universe. Winterbourne was captivated by Daisy, who was less proper than all European girls he had met so far. These descriptions can be encased in the ones of the countries we mentioned.
