There are two dominant aspects of realism (social rules and morality) and two dominant laws of naturalism (environment and determinism), which come into play in stories of literature American by Daisy Miller. , Frank James and Jack London. According to an authoritative source (Britannica), realism in its basic form in literature is a literary style in which the author describes the reality of people (persons) in detail to resemble their actions, emotions and surroundings. Strengths and weaknesses blend into the characteristics of their imperfect personalities by not being completely good or bad, weak or strong. Characters in stories attempt to navigate their way through their social environments, often in conflict with moral and governmental rules. The term naturalism "describes a type of literature that attempts to apply the scientific principles of objectivity and detachment to its study of human beings." according to the World Encyclopedia. In many cases, the laws of nature and the environment depict a dominant presence. In Frank Norris' Daisy Miller, the narrator did not sit in the judgment seat or stand in the jury box (E.

For Billy “the oilman”, the dice came out like snake eyes, the others lived thanks to Mother Nature. It was obvious that Jack London and Stephen Crane described the plight of men in their story as Emile Zola would say “human beasts”. . The naturalist's deductive reasoning would have allowed a scientific determination. The men of the two stakes were surrounded by vast natural and wild expanses. Daisy Miller's choices would also determine her fate. She had more control over her life than the ruling class had over her happiness; however, the ruling class hindered his happiness as they attempted to bring his mind to obedience..
