Okay, so I wrote an essay in which I assert that Daisy Miller is merely a misunderstood young woman living in the wrong period and in the wrong society, and is therefore innocent. However, the professor gave me a B and claimed that I would have enhanced my presentation if I had explained why the author opted for such a tragic end for Daisy. Was he trying to teach readers that those who don't follow the rules of society come to a bad end because they don't have the capability to survive in such society? I really don't know.
