Examples Of Daisy Buchanan In The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald writes, “‘Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay.’...‘I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties, some night,’ went on Jordan, ‘but she never did.’” This statement, made by Jordan Baker, reveals how Gatsby is pursuing his blind love for Daisy and creates a sense of admirable quality that justifies it as a good deed. It also shows that the only reason Gatsby throws his wild parties is because he expected Daisy to come one day. Additionally, Gatsby continues to show his love for Daisy by watching over her. Fitzgerald writes, “‘She’ll be all right tomorrow,’ he said presently. ‘I’m just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon.’” Gatsby sees this as a noble act, but it is mostly just reassurance that Tom does not hurt Daisy.

In FSF’s novel the Great Gatsby Nick Carraway’s perspective is poetic, paced and arguably reliable. For example, when he is retelling his first encounter with Daisy Buchanan after many years, his description of her and the room she is in is reminiscient of an angel in the heavens both “sad and lovely” (9). His tone changes, however, as the novel goes on and grows more pessimistic by the page. In the end, his description of Daisy is of disgust and almost pity, “they were careless…” (179). According to Mathew B, “the strongest feeling generated…” The horrible reality of a carefree life that is exhibited so thoroughly be Daisy and Tom in the end is in stark contrast to the desired and glamourous world in which they appear to exist. We hear this regret in Nick’s narration. Nowlin sums up Nick’s voice perfectly when he states, “but…” (28). Nick narrates from a future we know nothing about, unlike the narration of BR his story is tainted somewhat with retrospect. The narrators of both F’s writings operate within equally significant and different eras.

In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship is portrayed as obsessive, materialistic, and ineffective. Gatsby displays the quality of obsessiveness within the relationship by consuming himself with the desire to bring back the image of Daisy he fell in love with and his romance with her that had existed in the past. The intensity of Gatsby’s obsession is displayed when Gatsby invites Daisy and Nick over to his house. Nick observes that Gatsby “had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity. Now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock” (Fitzgerald 92). Nick’s examination of Gatsby obsession reveals that Gatsby has had this intense

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a drama that describes the underlying hypocritical ways of Tom Buchanan. Tom Buchanan is a very arrogant man who doesn’t care for people's feelings being affected by his actions. Whether that be his wife, friends, or newly befriended people he simply doesn’t think before he acts. Fitzgerald portrays Tom as a misunderstood man in the beginning, but as the story unfolds Fitzgerald shows the true Tom. While Tom seems to be the all around infatuating man his underlying racist, cheating, and lying ways will perfectly describe the average deceptive American man.

To many readers Daisy Buchanan appears to be a loving and caring woman. It’s not unusual to have pity on her either.

Matters begin to escalate quickly when Myrtle begins talking about Daisy in a snobbish manner, triggering Tom’s emotions. The actions of Tom reveal his appalling treatment of women through pure violence, portrayed through the kinesthetic imagery of the fight. Furthermore, the jab makes Tom seem immature and abusive towards people. He instills faux traits to others, making him appear decent, but carries immorality instead. The traits become exemplified by the intense image produced of him pounding Myrtle for something miniscule. The excessive arrogance he possesses flaunts his outlook on power: an abhorrence towards those beneath
