Daisy Buchanan In The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby explains Jay Gatsby’s, the title character’s, life through the narrator Nick Carraway who is a friend of Gatsby. Gatsby spends his life trying to become rich to persuade his former sweetheart Daisy Buchanan to leave her husband and forget the last three years of her life. Gatsby and Daisy had something great in the past; Fitzgerald uses objects that symbolize time to represent what they had, what Gatsby wants, and what he cannot get.

In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway joins Jay Gatsby through a trail of lies, love, and deception. Jay Gatsby lives perfectly across the bay from Daisy Buchanan with the green light at the end of her dock leaving a reminder. In the book, it looks like Fitzgerald portrays Jay and Daisy’s relationship to be like his and Zelda’s relationship. While showing the progression through the 1920s of wealth in the different social classes and how they viewed each other. The Great Gatsby shows symbolic messages throughout the reading such as Fitzgeralds past, the use of colors, and the American dream.

In continuation, another theme within F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wonderful book is betrayal. One of the main acts of betrayal in the book is Tom Buchanan’s betrayal of Daisy. He does this by having an affair with George Wilson's wife, Myrtle. This act then destroys everything that Daisy and himself had built together. Tom’s disloyal and deceit filled ways had caused him to believe that he was doing no wrong. He even states “I love Daisy too. Once in awhile I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time"(Fitzgerald 131). This was not a one time thing, he had done this horrible act multiple times and just expected that since he loved Daisy that he would always be welcomed by her. Another significant betrayal in the novel is Gatsby’s betrayal to himself. Gatsby had always tried to become a better man when he was growing up, and he had many hopes and dreams that would help in in achieving this goal. His father even states “[Gatsby's] got something about improving his mind. He was always great for that”(Fitzgerald 173). Gatsby was capable of great things, but he wasted his time chasing after the girl he loved the most. Every decision he made involved Daisy is some way. He had became a bootlegger for her, and in the end lost his life because of her. Gatsby had cheated and betrayed himself all for this girl's affection. He never became the

In addition to betraying Tom, Daisy gives Gatsby the impression that she is in love with him but then abandons him for Tom. Daisy selfishly allows Gatsby to take the blame for Myrtle’s death, manipulating him into protecting her. To represent Daisy’s unfaithful actions, she is placed on one side of the shattered heart while both Tom and Gatsby are placed on the opposing side. The final act of betrayal is when Gatsby betrays himself. Jay Gatsby is a very hardworking and successful man who makes a place for himself in society, and instead of using his success to his advantage he wastes is by chasing after a woman who never truly loved him.

Some could say that there is a love so strong that it can blind one of the harsh realities of life and can make a fool out of anyone. This same blind love makes a fool of Jay Gatsby in the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jay Gatsby is a young, wealthy man, seeking to be reunited with his long lost love Daisy Buchanan. After Nick Carraway moves next to Gatsby, he is invited over to one of Gatsby’s parties. Once Gatsby and Nick start to become friends, Gatsby asks Nick if he would invite his cousin Daisy for tea. Gatsby had fantasized, for five years, the moment that he would finally get to see Daisy; however, she couldn’t live up to his embellished imagination. During the rest of the summer, the affair arises between the two until one catastrophic night leads Daisy to slink back into her money and her husband for a sense of security. Gatsby is a fool for wasting his time trying to repeat the past and rekindle his love with Daisy.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is the story of one man searching for a long-lost love and the struggles he goes through to get her back.

“She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once-but I loved you too’” ( Fitzgerald 132). In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the main characters, Jay Gatsby, has a luxurious life and everybody knew him around West and East Egg. His life had seemed to be lavished with riches and parties that many people had went to to enjoy during the prohibition era. Even though his life had been filled with people and anything that he could ever want; he still had a dream. A dream that would complete his life and that dream was Daisy Buchanan.

Gatsby is stuck under the umbrella of this perfect life he aspires to have and constantly battles himself attempting to repeat the past and revive the mutual love he once shared with Daisy. This umbrella, a sanctuary with Daisy surrounded by their happiness and wealth, provides shelter from the storm of real life; a life filled with selfish, inconsiderate people. His naive perception of life and achievement of dreams and success reflect Gatsby’s romantic, unrealistic personality.

Scoot Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is truly is great because when he throws parties everyone is welcomed, he stayed loyal to Daisy since they first met, and he took the blame when Daisy kills Myrtle Wilson.

Daisy is a selfish, shallow, and in fact, hurtful, woman. From Nick's first visit, Daisy is associated with a magical tone. Nick calls on her at her house and initially finds her dressed all in white, "The only stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon.(CH.1)” Daisy, always at the height of fashion and addressing people with only the most adorable terms.

The novel The Great Gatsby is a great book to read. The author is F. Scott Fitzgerald. This book is mainly about having a dream to be something and then you fall in love and you doing whatever you can to get what you want. Money is always the key factor in this book. It comes down to who has old money and who has new money. When you read this book there are many ways you can look at it. Some people say that Tom is the worst character in the book. Some say that Gatsby and Nick are the antagonist. To some people Daisy is a beautiful young women that is a sweet and loving character but the way I read this book was that Daisy is the true villain. She is the reason why everything happens the way it does. She is the reason why Gatsby lies and Tom cheats. She is also the reason why Gatsby, Tom and Nick do the things they do. Everything in this book revolves around Daisy. Daisy is a liar, she is careless, she is reckless and she is also a selfish gold digger. She is the problem in this book. The qualities Daisy exhibits identify more with a villain than a hero.
