Abstract
The concept of culture is highly linked to place. It has known a lot of definitions in the modern times. It has created a sort of debate over its meaning between Europe and the United States. Henry James is indebted with the introduction of the international theme in literature, and therefore, he managed to reflect that debate in his novel Daisy Miller. This research focuses on the cultural hybridity and how this position of in between helped outsider persons to live peacefully. This hybridity has a great effect on the central character winterbourne; in which it changed his personality and his way of thinking totally. Whereas, the protagonist Daisy refused to change her attitudes and incorporate European culture and this what makes her fall in troubles with those new restrictions.
