Gatsby And Daisy Relationship

290 Words2 Pages

Gatsby did everything for Daisy, but she still betrayed him. She let him think that she loved him when she really didn’t. There was no way that she would have left Tom for Gatsby. Daisy was different. “She was the first nice girl he had ever known.”(148) She had other men and he thought that it “increased her value.” He knew that it wasn’t right for him to be in Daisy 's prodigious house. He wasn’t rich like her or the other guys that came to her house. Daisy was better than he was, she was rich he was not. Daisy was from a high class family and she was old money. Gatsby wanted to be like her and he liked that she was rich. He fell in love with the idea of being with a rich girl. Just like he made his fake persona Jay Gatsby. It was so real

    “I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn’t believe it would come and perhaps he no longer cared.

    Daisy only cared about Gatsby because she thought he had the wealth she searched for. However, even when Gatsby bootlegged alcohol to become wealthy, Daisy still betrayed Gatsby, because Mr. Buchanan inherited his money meaning his wealth is much more stable, which, again, displays that Daisy left Gatsby due to her selfish desires. Also, when Gatsby was with Daisy five years ago, he described her as “gleaming like silver” (156 Fitzgerald). This is another indication that Gatsby never related to Daisy’s persona. He let her represent the wealth that he had always hoped to be part of as a child from a poor background.

    In the novel, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays women in an extremely negative light. The idea Fitzgerald gives off is that women are only good for their looks and their bodies and that they should just be a sex symbol rather than actually use their heads. He treats women like objects and the male characters in the novel use women, abuse women, and throw them aside. I believe that Daisy, Jordan and Myrtle are prime examples of women in The Great Gatsby being treated poorly.
