Heaven or Hell
Daisy may have been getting cheated on, but she was as innocent as she seemed. The Great Gatsby had many twists and turns. Jay loved Daisy so much that he was blind to the signs that she didn’t 100% feel the same way about him. I know for a fact that she loved him once upon a time but that was many years ago. I wish Jay could have opened his eyes sooner and seen that Daisy is a terrible person who uses people then leaves when time gets rough. Who just played victim. Once things got too hard for Daisy she took Tom's side aka her husband and just left. We all knew that but Jay was just so blinded by the love he had for her. But let me introduce the characters of the Great Gatsby. Jay Gatsby was this mysterious man who always threw big big parties hoping that the love of “his” life would wander in. Daisy is Jay's old love interest who also happens to be Tom's wife. Tom is Daisy's cheating husband who has a mistress in NYC. The evidence from The Great Gatsby I can provide states, “ I called Daisy half an hour after we found him, called her instinctively and without hesitation. But she and Tom had gone away early afternoon, and taken baggage with them” (100). This line shows me that Daisy truly never

It took Daisy no time to fall “in love” with Tom which made me think she didn't love Jay as much as she tried to say. She was gullible, and easy to manipulate. In my eyes she was a book of empty lies and dreams just leading Jay on this whole time. Daisy was only looking for a good time and not long. When Daisy starts crying with Jay and doesn't tell the truth on why she was crying. I think she was crying because she was realizing all the things she could've had but she knows that she can no longer have that. What Daisy and Jay had was no more and I believe that Daisy saw
Despite Daisy’s clear nonchalance towards Gatsby’s feelings Gatsby still felt as if Daisy loved him, why else would he take the blame for something so massive, he wouldn’t have done that for just a friend. Daisy continues to deceive Gatsby because she knows that he will do whatever she wants, This connects to the entire book because Daisy is an overall deceitful woman, and the book as a whole portrays woman as unfaithful, such as Myrtle who cheats on her husband to move up in social
Daisy too is in love with Jay Gatsby who had almost ruined her life while receiving the letter the day of her wedding. Daisy wanted to cancel the wedding day and spend the rest of her life with Jay, but her mother thought other wise. Daisy went on to marry Tom and spent five years with him before finally spending time with Jay while drinking tea at Nick Carraway's household. Daisy had told Jay that she wishes she “had done everything on earth with
In F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby”, the character George Wilson shoots Gatsby dead. But who is really to blame for his demise? Daisy Buchanan is the real person to blame because she lead gatsby to believe she would leave Tom for him and because she should have admitted to her mistakes. Daisy Buchanan plays her share in the blame for Jay Gatsby’s death because of the way she treated Gatsby. Daisy leads Gatsby on by letting him think she was gonna leave her husband while they run away together “... she realized at last what she was doing - and as though she had never, all along, intended doing anything at all” (132).
Jay Gatsby's love for Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby is an incredibly complicated showing of an obsessive, yet desirable, type of love. Gatsby’s pursuit of Daisy was driven by his desire to relive what they had shared so many years ago, specifically before her marriage to Tom Buchanan. Every little thing Jay Gatsby did throughout his lifetime was a hopeful attempt to win back the woman of his dreams, to the point where he entirely loses himself. This can be seen on many different occasions, for instance, he had made sure to position his mansion not only across the water from her but additionally, designed the entire thing around what he believed she would most enjoy. Over and above that, every single one of the parties he hosted after creating
In the novel, The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby goes the extra mile to gain the “love of his life,” which I believe is for the American Dream he had never fully experienced. When deciding Gatsby’s intentions with Daisy, it is important to take in Gatsby’s view of her as a person, why he wants to be with her so badly, and his experience with healthy love. Ultimately, I believe, Jay Gatsby was not in love with Daisy; instead he
The novel,The Great Gatsby, calls the character Jay Gatsby ‘Great’. As the story proceeds, Nick Carroway explains Gatsby as only wanting one thing, Nick’s cousin Daisy. Gatsby met his flame five years prior, and has since been away at war and Daisy has since gotten married. With Daisy marrying up to ‘Old Money’ Tom Buchanan, Gatsby must do everything in his power to impress Daisy. Gatsby deals in shady businesses in order to gain as much fortune and spend that fortune on his obsession.
Daisy had a lot to do with events leading up to Gatsby’s death, but it was her husband, Tom, who really set things into
She chooses the extravagant lifestyle that Tom is capable of providing instead of patiently waiting for her true love. The self-centered desires she displays demonstrates the lack of authetic love she promised Gatsby. Instead, she marries Tom “without so much as a shiver”, demonstrating her hedonistic mindset (76). Since Tom treats Daisy with minimal care, she thoughtlessly dives into an adulterous affair with Jay Gatsby. With no severe intentions towards marriage, she always “ought to have something in her life” to fulfill her heart (79).
This si when Jay loses his cool. He yells and pins Tom against the wall and makes himself seem like a fool. Described in Chapter 7 Gatsby “looked–and this is said in all contempt for the babbled slander of his garden–as if he had “killed a man.” This showed that Gatsby truly was a bad man and he was just hiding well throughout the whole story. When Daisy noticed this she immediately made up her mind that she wanted to be with
There may be many despicable characters in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but Daisy Buchanan is a main character that causes feuds between not only Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan, Tom being her husband and Gatsby being the one she falls in love with, but Myrtle Wilson and George Wilson. Daisy is by far the most disappointing character in the book, because she leaves her child to be raised by nannies, which includes her having an affair, ends up killing someone without taking the blame, and she never shows up to Gatsby’s funeral. Daisy might have loved Tom at one point, but she really never wanted to marry him. When Gatsby comes into the picture, she instantly is overwhelmed with Gatsby’s devotions towards her.
“She’s never loved you. She loves me.” This obviously states that the whole entire time Daisy has been lying about who she loves to herself and everyone. She wanted to do what was right for her and tom but no one can fool Gatsby, he knew that she still loved him. No one has to lie about that “true love” between them.
This rekindling of lost love pushed Daisy to realization that even though she does not currently love Tom, she is bound to be with him forever. Nick hides Jay and Daisy’s forbidden relationship, and does not command the integrity to tell Tom that his wife is seeing another
Daisy longs for the nostalgia and emotional connection that Jay Gatsby provides her which leads her to question
Daisy decides to cheat with Jay Gatsby after she becomes bored and complacent with Tom. She finds out that her long-lost lover in Gatsby comes to find her and is now very rich. However, she does love Tom at the beginning of their marriage. Over time, though, she realizes Tom’s true self and is not in love with him like she was at the beginning. In the movie Daisy states, “I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything.
He thought he could never be replaced in Daisy’s heart so when he learned of her marriage he thought he had a chance to get her back. “ I don’t think she ever loved him,”. (Fitzgerald 152) Jay, because of his past with her, assumed he was the only man who had possession of her heart, which ultimately led to his downfall.
