Answer:
In Victorian era, women were often held to an extremely high standard of marriage and morality. As an American, Daisy resented being held to these Eropean standards and flatly refused to adhere to them. She was often warned that failure to come under these rules on European society would stain her reputation, but still she refused. Her behavior around men was that of a flirtatious teenager. Whether it was with Winterbourne or Mr. Giovanelli, she seen unable or unwilling to show the dignity expected of an unmarried women. This continued dis respect for what people considered common decency cause her to be the talk of much gossip. It also placed her in the location of the Roman colosseum where it was known to be a place of contagion for "Roman Fever." This lack of concern and impetuous decision would cost Daisy her life.
Was society to blame? No, she moved forward with her eyes wide-open. She would not heed sound advice offered her by wise counsel. Though Daisy disregarded their instruction, she should not have done so off-hand. It was her responsibility to weigh each word with the gravity it deserved. This she utterly failed to do. So, her calamity was of her own making, due to a reckless nature.
What about blaming the victim? Lessons need to be taught from such reckless behavior that others might learn not to follow this same course. Some might see this as "blaming the victim," but rather, it should be viewed as aiding the living and learning from others mistakes.
