By having Winterbourne first meet Randolph rather than Daisy, Henry James can set up some roundabout derivations about Daisy. She has a more youthful sibling, who is somewhat rash, as the peruser will observe Daisy to be. He is somewhat manipulative in that he approaches somebody he has never met to ask some help, "Will you give me a chunk of sugar?" and with this, he pushes his preferred position and takes three 3D squares. This is likewise especially like his sister as she utilizes her ladylike wiles to get Winterbourne to guarantee to take her to see the palace. In this way, in these things, James can present, in Randolph, a portion of the attributes that the peruser will later discover in Daisy. Â
Randolph symbolizes the enthusiastic enthusiasm seen in numerous Americans, which the Europeans can't appear to get it. In Randolph's eyes everything is better in America, 'I can't get any treat here—any American sweet. American sweet's the best treats," ""American men are the best." He says that even the moon is better in America, "You can't see anything here during the evening, aside from when there's a moon. In America, there's dependably a moon!" This implausible perspective on his nation of origin demonstrates his open love for America yet in addition will in general point towards the deficiencies of the European nations and his abhorrence for them, in that they don't have anything to contrast with America, in Randolph's brain. This is, regularly, the manner by which individuals see Americans, both glad and proud, without a craving to comprehend different societies.
