Part 2: Rome
Explanation and Analysis—Death by Fever:
At the start of Part 2, Daisy recounts her family's time in Rome to Winterbourne. She hyperbolically adds that they'll stay through the winter unless they catch the fever and die. This comment, though taken as mere hyperbole at this point in the narrative, foreshadows her death at the end of the novella.
We are going to stay all winter, if we don’t die of the fever; and I guess we’ll stay then.
