Daisy has been confused since the very beginning of everything but I think she thought as time went on it would get easier since Gatsby wasn’t around. Then Gatsby shows up throwing his nice shirts around and his “wealth” and it confuses Daisy because she used to be in love with this guy and now he has all this money but yet she is married to Tom who she isn’t attracted to at all but has money. The difference is Tom is a security blanket for Daisy because she knows that he will never lose his money in their lifetime together, but Gatsby’s money is

This is the same for Pearl but possibly to an even greater extent because she has not socialized with anyone of the town. As for Dimmesdale, no one knows about his crime until he says it and even then he dies soon after so it is unclear how he is recognized by the town. All throughout nature, the letter can be seen in different places. In the words of Baym, “it is featured in the sky, repeated in mirrors, eyes, brooks-everywhere one looks, another letter.” (Baym 54).

Although the string of pearls are a symbol of wealth, they also represent Tom to Daisy; Daisy is drunk and has Gatsby is on her mind, so she “[gropes] around in a waste-basket” and retrieves the expensive necklace telling her bridesmaids to “give ‘em back to whoever they belong to” because she doesn’t want to be Tom’s property anymore, but the pearls are back around her neck in time to marry Tom the next day (Page 76). Daisy has developed a deep façade

Daisy and Tom are a rich couple who are carless to how their actions affect those around them. They do not think or plan ahead to how their actions may result, they just do, no thoughts and no care, then hide behind their money, not dealing with the consequences of their actions.

She doesn’t try to confront Tom about his mistress, and she feigns sophistication to remain in wealth and out of gossip. She even gives up Gatsby, who she states she loves, and dreads the drama that comes from the confrontation between Tom and Gatsby. She goes so far as to let Gatsby take the fall for Myrtle’s death, which ends in his death. She and Tom leave immediately, leaving no forwarding address; Daisy ends up running from the trouble she helped cause. Daisy is so utterly unattached and desperate for material comfort that she has no morals left to care

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, “The Great Gatsby,” Daisy Buchanan struggles to free herself from the power of both Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, whom both use their wealth and high standings as a way to dictate power over and impress others. Fitzgerald purposely develops Daisy as selfish and “money hungry” character when she chooses Tom, a rich man, over Gatsby, a poor man (who she was in love with), which establishes her desire for power that she never achieves.

Gatsby uses the fact that Daisy’s life is filled with materialism to sway her to fall back in love with him. When she first sees Gatsby’s house she exclaims, “that huge place there” (pg 90), showing how the first thing she looks at are the material things, such as how big Gatsby’s house is. (add a final

Daisy is an ignorant woman, she destroys Gatsby’s dream and felt no guilt in leaving him. She feels safe as long as she had her money. She uses her money to cover up her wrong doings. Her ignorance and carelessness cause her to not understand the hard work behind the American

Daisy does not care for others, and she values Tom 's money over Gatsby 's love. The materialistic values that Daisy holds, therefore, ultimately corrupt her. Her corruption is further proven when Gatsby later describes to Nick Daisy 's car accident, "Well, first Daisy turned away from the woman toward the other car, and lost her nerve and turned back... Daisy stepped on it." (151).

Throughout the story Daisy has been lying about who she loved when she knew that she was still in love with “ Great Gatsby” and that showed when daisy read that letter, she was hysterically crying, it showed that she still cared but she didn't want to put herself out there. She could've fooled everyone with her love lies but she sure couldn't fool “ Great Gatsby”. Tom fell for all these lies, makes Daisy and Gatsby deceitful.

The era’s “perfect woman”, Daisy Buchanan, is a bubbly, conflicted woman whose choice is between two men: her husband, Tom Buchanan, and her former lover Jay Gatsby.
