Daisy's Relationship In The Great Gatsby

All in all, as presented through this work, Gatsby was indeed in love with Daisy for the most part, in the beginning of their relationship, but it all change when Gatsby lost Daisy and so he let himself believed that his past was the one to blame for this circumstances. It is after this, that Gatsby became rather obsessed with the idea of Daisy and having a lovely future with her, because having her meant having it all: stability, confidence, love, happiness and so on. Also, it meant that he had succeeded in life as a whole. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” (Chapter 9) All his life, Gatsby intended to escape

Gatsby is simply in love with Daisy’s physical beauty and powerful charm. His love for Daisy is best described as infatuated since he is attracted to her beauty and high class instead of her personality. In addition

It’s as if Gatsby would give up parts of his dream just to be with Daisy and by attempting to do this he loses sight of reality. Even though he seems lost, his sheer determination to get what he wants is

However, from the description of the novel, also from the eye contact and emotional expression of Gatsby in the movie, it can be easily found that Gatsby really loves Daisy the girl. She is the goddess in his heart all the time. It seems that there is a deep gap between Gatsby and Daisy. He cannot forget his top girl all the time and he even firmly believed that he is able to draw Daisy’s heart back as long as he can possess a huge amount of

When Gatsby first meets Daisy, they are both young enough that only love matters and when he leaves, the possibility of them being together is still alive, but this doesn’t stay true. After the war, Gatsby realizes Daisy is married to a wealthy man and the only way to have another chance at her

Gatsby has been in love with Daisy ever since the first day he met her, since he left Daisy she moved on and married Tom Buchanan. Once Gatsby came back to reunite with daisy he found out her life had continued without him. With that being said he became obsessed with her, and because of this he moved across the lake to be closer to her. Every night “he stretched his arms towards the dark water…nothing except a single green light… [from] the end of the dock” (21). Gatsby reached toward, but he was actually reaching back into the past with Daisy. The green light at the end of her doc gave him hope that they’ll have a relationship, but in reality that relationship isn’t bound to

Gatsby has always been in love with Daisy. Since the day he met her, roughly five years ago from where the book starts. He fell in love and Daisy promised that she would wait for Gatsby to return from war, and that they would reunite and love happily together. Gatsby’s goal is getting Daisy back. Not just getting her back and going from where their lives both were, but getting the Daisy back from five years ago, with no recollection of Tom

Sometimes people put on a facade for the rest of the world to hide the bad in themselves which they don't want others to see. In the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy Buchanan is caught in between her husband, Tom Buchanan and her first love, Jay Gatsby who are both fighting for her love. Daisy is sympathized for as she is put in this tough spot, however true intentions are revealed as she leads both of these men on. As she has relations with both Tom and Gatsby, Daisy selfishly acts to only please herself and protect her character. Although Fitzgerald carefully builds Daisy's character with associations of light, purity, and innocence, when all is said and done, she is the opposite from what presents herself to be.

Firstly, Gatsby’s love for Daisy is genuine and authentic. For example, when Daisy kills Myrtle while driving Gatsby’s car, Gatsby insists on taking the blame to protect her. When Nick asks Gatsby if Daisy was driving the car, Gatsby replies “Yes [...] but of course I’ll say I was” (Fitzgerald 143). Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy is so extreme that he is willing to take the blame for a crime that wasn’t his fault to protect her.

Nobody can disagree that the romance between Gatsby and Daisy was, at one time, extremely real and very passionate. In fact, just look at this quote from when Daisy rekindled her relationship with Gatsby, "They were sitting at either end of the couch, looking at each other as if some question had been asked, or was in the air, and every vestige of embarrassment was gone. Daisy’s face was smeared with tears, and when I came in she jumped up and began wiping at it with her handkerchief before a mirror. But there was a change in Gatsby that was simply confounding. He literally glowed; without a word or a gesture of exultation a new well-being radiated from him and filled the little room." This is one of the lighter, more positive moments in the story, for this surprise reunion started

Gatsby is what, for a moment, represents those dreams for Daisy. He represents a time for her of fairytale-like romance and seemingly endless possibilities. However, she does herself crush this human side of herself in the pursuit of self preservation. Ultimately, she abandons Gatsby, her supposed true love, and doesn’t return even for his funeral. Even before then, however, we see a disturbing moment where the soul that the reader thought Daisy possessed, is

Money cannot hide a persons intentions and soul being at heart. In The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald we see the likenesses and differentiations between two men living in the extravagant lifestyle of the Eggs competing for their same love. Gatsby is considered new money with a hidden past to which makes him a mystery. Tom is considered old money with a selfish entitled way about him. Both characters are similar in the position of their moral compass yet their past and their passions set them apart as if in two different worlds.

All through the book, Gatsby's mind is stuck on getting Daisy back. He thinks that in one magical moment, Daisy will leave Tom and return to his bed for a fairy tale ending. After he comes back from the war his thoughts are on his love's betrayal, her marriage. He sees his actions as a method of love, but his thoughts are ill hearted towards others. He has been involved in illegal financial methods and is trying to break up a marriage for his own gain in life. After their fling officially begins, Gatsby has Daisy lying to Tom and he is convincing her that she never loved her husband. Gatsby thinks that by getting Daisy to realize her marital mistakes, she will simply leave Tom and marry him.  He is corrupting a relationship and an individual further than their present state of dishonesty. He thinks that his plans are going accordingly until a heated discussion breaks out and he is on the losing end. He has ended up emotionally unbalancing Daisy to the point where she accidentally kills someone. Gatsby then takes the blame like it was nothing with the thought that it is his duty. Gatsby's train of thought was a bit off the tracks and did crash and burn, but who could blame a man in love,

Daisy grew up spoiled due to the vast wealth she obtained from being ‘old money’, which caused her to become selfish and self-centred. Daisy had become selfish to the point that she has an expensive and materialistic desire or want. When Gatsby shows Daisy his mansion, she gazed in awe as “she admired […] the gardens, the sparkling odor of jonquils […] and the pale gold odor of kiss-me-at-the-gate.”(Fitzgerald,97) Daisy, all along, does not have feelings for Gatsby, but more for his money and expensive possessions, as she revealed her true self during Tom and Gatsby’s argument. Daisy is selfish even if money was not involved, as she does not feel grateful for Gatsby taking the blame for her killing Myrtle Wilson. For instance, when Nick tells Gatsby about Mrytle dying, Gatsby replies “’Yes,’ he said after the moment, ‘but of course I’ll say I was.’” (Fitzgerald, 154) When Daisy cried in Gatsby’s mansion, she was crying about her actions in killing Myrtle, meanwhile she does not care about Gatsby’s act of chivalry. Furthermore, Daisy takes advantage of Gatsby by taking Tom along to Gatsby’s party, when Daisy was personally invited to essentially go alone. When Gatsby saw Tom appearing to his party, Gastby with a light temper has a conversation with Tom. He says “I know your wife’, continued Gatsby, almost aggressively.”

In The Great Gatsby, the main character Gatsby is stuck on a love he had for Daisy in the past. Daisy doesn’t really feel the same way about him though. Gatsby needs to realize that the love they shared is long gone and he can’t get that back. Daisy and her husband Tom have major relationship issues in their marriage. Tom is constantly cheating on Daisy, and we know that Daisy knows that there’s something going on with Tom.
