Daisy's Housе In The Great Gatsby

In "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, he shows women, treated and presented as worse than men, and are rather disregarded and neglected by the male characters. Even Fitzgerald describes and creates the traits of the women in the book in a negative manner.

“I saw them in Santa Barbara when they came back, and I thought I’d never seen a girl so mad about her husband. If he left the room for a minute she’d look around uneasily, and say: “Where’s Tom gone?” and wear the most abstracted expression until she saw him coming in the door. She used to sit on the sand with his head in her lap by the hour, rubbing her fingers over his eyes and looking at him with unfathomable delight. It was touching to see them together — it made you laugh in a hushed, fascinated way. That was in August. A week after I left Santa Barbara Tom ran into a wagon on the Ventura road one night, and ripped a front wheel off his car. The girl who was with him got into the papers, too, because her arm was broken

Nick invites Daisy over to his house for tea, without telling her that Gatsby is going to be there. When she gets there, she is pretty shocked to see him, and they both go through an emotional stage. Tom is not very happy when he learns about Gatsby. He thinks that Daisy is cheating on him, which she technically is. On a hot summer day, they all decide to go to town and rent a room at the Plaza Hotel. When they get there, Tom and Gatsby have this big argument about who Daisy loves. She loved Tom when they first married, but then her feelings went back to Gatsby. They all then decide to leave. Daisy is driving back when she accidentally hits Myrtle, Tom’s lover, and she kept on driving. Myrtle ended up dying instantly. The husband vows to kill whoever killed his wife. Nick knows something is going to happen so that night he goes over to Gatsby’s and tells him that he needs to leave and he doesn’t. Tom tells the husband of the woman killed that it was Mr. Gatsby’s car that hit his wife. From grieving he went mentally insane and he found out Gatsby’s house, and he went there and killed Gatsby. Nick held a small funeral for

Gatsby’s meeting with daisy compared to his expectations of this meeting was not far off. In the begging they were both timid, at one point Gatsby got up and left daisy all only. But later in Gatsby’s house they warmed up to each other, they were admiring all of Gatsby’s belongings. By the end of the chapter they were holding hands and could be described as being in love with one another again. I don’t know what more Gatsby could want or expect because she is still married to tom. I’m shore his expectations were let down because everyone hopes for so much but little ever comes close. But I think that today expectations were as close as they will ever be.

Daisy’s decision towards the end of the book was unpredictable; however, it did unravel her character more, and she became a little realistic in how the plot turned out. For example, in the novel, it states “It was all very care-less and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back…to let other people clean up the mess they had made…” (Page 179). This shows that in Nick’s perspective those two characters just blossomed their negative attributes, and I do agree with Nick’s predicament because I saw little hints of their behavior throughout the book. For example, in the literature, it also states “She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw” (Page 119). This demonstrates

When Gatsby reveals to about his relationship with Daisy, Nick’s relationship with Gatsby takes a full u-turn as it rapidly advances their association from simple acquaintances to close friends. Nick’s outlook of Gatsby undergoes a similar transformation. When Nick learns of the previous relationship between Gatsby and Daisy, Gatsby’s actions make sense to Nick. The mansion, the extravagant parties, and the green light were all in the efforts for making Daisy notice him. Gatsby lives his life for the past life that he lived. He spends his life seeking the attention of his love, Daisy, and as Nick explains, “He wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was…” (Fitzgerald 110). Gatsby sought out the American dream in order to win over the love of Daisy which creates a different perception of himself to Nick. Nick, now knowing Gatsby’s intentions worries about Gatsby’s possible rejection, and then warns him that, “[he] wouldn’t ask too much of her, you can’t repeat the past.” (Fitzgerald 110) But Gatsby, blinded by love, strives to win Nick’s married cousin’s heart. Nick perceives Gatsby as a man dwelling on the past

Nick is shock after listening all Gatsby does for Daisy with the hope of seeing her once more. This story conveys a profound effect on Nick, which feels the need of taking action in helping them. Therefore, the next day he meets with Gatsby, Nick tells him he is going to call Daisy and invite her to his house for tea. Gatsby is so grateful with Nick that he wants to return the favor, so he offers him a tempting job where he can earn much money. Gatsby says, “Well this would interest you. It would not take up much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money. It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing” (pg.83). Eventually, throughout the story it becomes evident Gatsby’s confidential business is corrupt; his desire to see Daisy makes him a fraud. Luckily, Nick rejects Gatsby’s offers and assures him he is only granting Gatsby a favor and does not want nothing in return. (pg. 82-83).

Nicks first sees Gatsby reaching towards the mysterious green light, which he later realizes is the light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He calls himself an Oxford man, and speaks with a visible fake English accent. Gatsby befriends his neighbor Nick with the sole purpose of using him in order to get closer to daisy. With Nick and Jordan’s help, the two are reunited on a rainy afternoon in Nick’s house. Blindly in love, Gatsby acts like a foolish little boy, knocking down Nick’s clock. The long awaited reunion is later moved to Gatsby’s mansion. There he displays his wealth to Daisy. When he exhibits his imported shirts “suddenly with a strained sound Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily” (98). Daisy’s tears are not because the shirts were beautiful; her tears signify her obsession for wealth and money, which is all she cares about.

Throughout the novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character of Daisy Buchanan undergoes many noticeable changes. Daisy is a symbol of wealth and of promises broken. She is a character we grow to feel sorry for but probably should not.

Life in the Roaring 20’s was a flurry of parties and money mostly made by illegal activities, such as bootlegging, since the Prohibition and Volstead Act were both in effect. This is the setting in which The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald took place. It offers a look into the life of the eccentric Jay Gatsby, the man known for his extravagant parties. There was one thing that money could never buy him though, and that was the love of his dream girl, Daisy Buchanan. The Great Gatsby tells the story of hope, love, betrayal and death. Daisy Buchanan, the golden girl, lives a prosperous life in “old money” East Egg, while her past love Jay Gatsby lives across the bay in West Egg, the land of new money.

“You’re just embarrassed, that’s all,” and luckily I added: “Daisy’s embarrassed too.” In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, “The Great Gatsby,” Nick Carraway, the narrator, plays a character with the most supportive of roles. Nick spends most of his time throughout the deceitful tale of Gatsby being a somewhat true friend to the main character, Jay Gatsby, earning the title of confidante when Gatsby feeds his personal life to the mouth that is Nick’s lent ear. Nick also receives credence from many of the other characters. But for a soul like Nick, living in the 1920s’ doesn't seem to be his era.

Without even meeting Gatsby, Nick delves into a world of delusion and carelessness that marks Gatsby’s party, emphasizing how just mere taste of extravagance and wealth can have such a

The 1920s of America were filled with frivolity and the constant pursuit of happiness. Everyone was in search of the “American Dream”, where having wealth and a family would bring a happy and fortuitous life. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, this dream has been “achieved” by various members of the upper class. Residents of both the East and West Egg have come into vast amounts of monetary wealth, with which they are considerably careless. Many of these folks have begun to grow their own families; finding a wealthy spouse and having children.

Every weekend, Nick’s next door neighbor Gatsby had extravagant parties at his house. One Saturday morning, Gatsby’s butler came to Nick’s house and invited him to the party that was to be held that evening. Nick showed up that night, not knowing a soul there, and not even knowing what the host himself looked like. He soon found Jordan, and spent the rest of the evening with her. Nick found himself speaking with a man he recognized from the war. Nick told him that he did not even know who the host was, but that he had just been invited by him. The man looked puzzled and then told Nick that he was Gatsby. Both were embarrassed and apologized to each other. At that moment, a butler appeared and told Gatsby of a phone call that he had to attend to. Gatsby excused himself and said that he would talk to Nick later that

One night Nick decides to attend one of these phenomenal parties. There he bumps into the one and only Gatsby. From the information that Nick has gathered about Gatsby, he turns out to be a lovely and gracious host. As the summer comes to an end, Gatsby and Nick start to become friends. One day Nick and Gatsby journey into the city to have tea. It was then when Nick learns Gatsby’s amazing story about his strong love for Daisy Buchanan. They met years ago when he was in the army, but they couldn’t be together because he wouldn’t always be their for Daisy. Nick learned that years after the war Gatsby fought in his mission was to win Daisy back. He bought his house so that he would be across the Sound from where Daisy lives so she would see his parties in hopes that maybe she will notice and come over. After all these years Gatsby thinks he is ready to meet with her. So Gatsby comes up with idea to get Nick to invite Daisy over to his little house where Gatsby will show up out of the blue. The day of the meeting the long lost lovers meet again. At first the their reunion was full of nervousness, but shortly, the two are once again comfortable with each other. Later that afternoon the three decide to move the party over to Gatsby’s house were he shows Daisy his fabulous decorated house and all of this
