James' enriches his narrative with imagery and symbolism. Daisy's white dresses with their elaborate ruffles and wide skirts seem to announce her innocence; her ever-present parasol and her huge fan evoke her association with the sun; the gardens where she walks and proclaims her freedom point toward her wholesomeness; the interiors in which the expatriates pronounce their condemnation of her reflect their narrowness.
