In Henry James' "Daisy Miller" how does Jay Winterbourne suffer as a result of his innocence?

I am writing a paper about why the characters Jay Winterbourne (Henry James "Daisy Miller"), the brother in James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues", Jay Gatsby, and Nick Caraway in "The Great Gatsby" all suffer as a result of innocence. They are all similar to the women that suffered in the early 19th c. because they each have different morals which they go by in life, which are not the best morals to go by. This is just the way that they were taught and they each suffer because they do not know better. any ideas on examples backing this idea up?
