The most despicable in "The Great Gatsby" is Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is a consistent liar throughout the novel. She is having an affair with Gatsby who claims that he loves her but is married to Tom who is a big jerk. She loved Gatsby from a young age but when Gatsby was sent off to war and Daisy said that she would wait for him, she dishonors her word and decides that she is going to marry Tom Buchanan. Tom is the bad guy in the story. He never does anything right and is basically the enemy of Gatsby. Gatsby believes that Daisy should be with him and that she never really loved Tom. Daisy married Tom Buchanan because he was rich and available and that was what beautiful debutantes did in Louisville in 1919.…
Tom, her husband, commits unworthy actions that a husband should not do, but is very wealthy. Instead of being with a man who she truly desires to be with, she would rather be with a man that had more money from the beginning. In an argumentative discussion, Daisy communicates to Gatsby that she “did love [Tom] once but [she] loves him too” (140). Since Daisy is torn between the concept of money and love, she does not know who she desires to be with. However, a physical interaction between Gatsby and Daisy made Gatsby’s “heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own”(117). This shows that Daisy does have an attraction towards Gatsby, but prefers the benefits she receives by being married to Tom. If she was pure and innocent as her white colored face, she would not use her husband for…
This is possibly due to his upbringing in poverty, but it is clear that everything Gatsby sis with his wealth was done for Daisy. When Gatsby comes home from the war and learns that Daisy has married Tom, Gatsby quickly and mysteriously amasses large amounts of money in hopes that his wealth will bring Daisy back to him. When Gatsby throws his crazy parties, he isn’t doing it because he enjoys it, he is doing it because he thinks Daisy will enjoy it. “He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray.” (page 92) Even when Gatsby does get Daisy’s attention again, he does everything he can think of to keep her interested by showing off all of these useless glittering things that he has collected. It starts with him showing of a grand organ in the foyer, for which he keeps a person staffed to play whenever he desires, and ends with him literally shoving his wealth in her face by throwing all of these fine shirts at Daisy. Only when she starts crying does he stops and she says it’s because she’s never seen such beautiful shirts before. Gatsby never gets caught up in all of the shining parties he throws and doesn’t seem to care about anything he owns that daisy doesn’t find suitable. Gatsby even treats Nick with genuine kindness and tries to dispel harmful rumors about himself because he cares what nick thinks of him as a person. Gatsby is the only wealthy person in this book to never show unnecessary malice unless Daisy is…
At the beginning, she is characterized by white and being innocent. She is also characterized by her mysterious green light. Later in the story the meaning of her green light is revealed and her character changes. This change is portrayed in the book when Gatsby and Nick are having a conversation and Nick has this realization: “‘Her voice is full of money,’ he said suddenly. That was it. I’d never understood before. It was full of money- that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals’ song of it” (Fitzgerald 108). Her voice of money is representative of how in actuality everything she does is driven by money. Her life revolves around it and it also keeps her from siding with Gatsby during Tom and Gatsby’s argument. Gatsby is a risk but Tom comes with the promise of eternal wealth. Gatsby’s worship of Daisy’s green light before realizing this is ironic because her greed is what ultimately ended their short-lived affair. This greed is what puts Daisy under the umbrella of being a woman of the new age. During the 1920’s, America was a very wealthy society. People began to spend more money on luxuries and less money on necessities. Daisy has let this new attitude overtake herself and her personality. This is Daisy’s biggest flaw and is connected to the character of women at the…
