Winterbourne’s Judgment and Daisy Miller’s Innocence
Winterbourne’s Crisis: Daisy Miller Chapter 4 Analysis
Winterbourne’s Pathetic Reaction
The scene in the Coliseum, where Winterbourne comes upon Daisy and Giovanelli, reveals Winterbourne at his most pathetic. Nowhere does he respond with less thought or reflection. He immediately takes the fact of Daisy’s presence there, at that hour and in that situation, as evidence of her worthlessness. Still, Winterbourne’s reaction is complex: he is horrified but also relieved, and he is “angry with himself”

Audre Lorde — “Power” (1978)
Context
Power: Written in 1978 after the death of a 10-year-old Black boy, Clifford Glover, in New York (1973).

His short sentences, plain vocabulary, and minimal descriptions create an effect of clarity and directness. Yet beneath that clarity lies emotional tension, psychological complexity, and moral ambiguity.

Caste and Forbidden Love in The God of Small Things
Arundhati Roy’s novel, The God of Small Things, takes place in post-independence India, mainly in the state of Kerala. It illustrates how ancient social systems like caste continued to shape people’s lives long after 1947. While independence promised equality, caste discrimination did not disappear. Velutha is a Dalit (from the Paravan caste)—formerly called “Untouchable”—and therefore remains socially excluded and constantly at risk.
