James' manipulation of appearances in Daisy Miller as well as other character's notions of these appearances provides us with a novella of enigmatic and fascinating characters. Daisy, the most complicated of these ambiguities, is as mysterious as she is flirtatious.

He structures the novella in such a way as to stress the insights that the supporting characters

They also provide a sense of “normalcy” amongst individuals within a society. In a society, “we tend to follow our own cultural norms without questioning them, because we regard them as the ‘norm’.” (Henslin,2012).

potential which in turn hinders their relationship. Jess’s sister also has trouble recognizing the differences of Jess and her family when she asks, “Jess don’t you want all of this? This is the best day of your life, innit?” in which Jess replies, “I want more than this”(Pinky/Jess). Although typically girls in Indian culture dream of the day they are wed, Jess does not fit into this social understanding which creates a barrier between her and the other women of her
norms provide structure and order necessary for a successful society. With these guidelines individuals know how to behave in certain situations and can also maintain a better understanding of other people. There are three types of norms: folkway, moré, and legal.
