How Does Jay Gatsby Misguided
In a way, Gatsby did truly love Daisy. Gatsby loved the image he had of Daisy. He’s in love with what Daisy represents - beauty and wealth.
Gatsby love for Daisy is genuine, but I also think it's misguided.
Just what will it take for Gatsby to win the affection of Daisy? He does many things to get Daisy's attention for example, he bought a mansion that was close to the Bucannons house. T. Jordan is talking to Nick, “Gatsby bought the house so that Daisy would be across the bay” (Fitzgerald 83). Gatsby also throws parties and invites a lot of guests. He invites Tom and Daisy but they never show up. Jordan talking to Nick again “I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties, some night,” went on Jordan, “but she never did” (Fitzgerald 84) Although, Gatsby love for Daisy only lasted for a short time. After the any years apart. …show more content…
He also wants her to tell Tom that she never loved him. Gatsby telling Tom “Your wife doesn't love you,” said Gatsby quietly. “She's never loved you. She loves me” (Fitzgerald 136) You just can’t tell someone to drop their husband and tell them you never loved them without it having any meaning. Though she tries to do so, she couldn't do it cause it's not true. In chapter 7 Daisy talking to Gatsby “ I did love him once but I loved you too” ( Fitzgerald 140) and that why she couldn't tell Tom a lie. In a way Daisy has become an object that he must posses.
The thing that I find so unique about Gatsby “love” for Daisy is that he never gives it up. In the end of the book it's clear that Daisy is not going to run away with Gatsby. He never gives up hope. And for what it seems Daisy is literally that most important thing is his life. Gatsby took the blame for Daisy. This is when Gatsby is telling Nick what had happened “was daisy driving?” “Yes,” he said after a moment but of course i'll say I was” (Fitzgerald 150). And what does Gatsby get in return? He gets killed! (Fitzgerald
