Gatsby Love Daisy

I thoroughly enjoy the writing style of Fitzgerald, he does a wonderful job on adding subtle details to add more emotion and reality. Daisy is an intriguing character and I love the way Fitzgerald describes her. While Nick talked to his cousin, he noticed “Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget” (9). ‘Bright’ is a repeating word in this sentence, Nick believes his cousin is a light and lively person men are attracted to. Nick uses the juxtaposition of ‘sad’ and ‘lovely’ to express what he sees in Daisy at that moment. He notices Daisy is a lovely woman with kind intentions; however, she

The Great Gatsby was published in 1925,and this book was awarded the second of 100 best novels of American literary history.This book’s writer,F. Scott Fitzgerald,whose shadow has been shown on the Nick and Gatsby.Nick and Fitzgerald were both born in common families but graduated from famous universities,and thought that the new life with luxury and crazy love is attractive.Gatsby and Fitzgerald are both mammonish.They thought the money can bring everything and they can prove that they are the qualified lovers with money.Besides,the writer put the story in 1920s when American economy was developing at full speed.

In the great Gatsby, many characters are either dissatisfied or disillusioned with their lives in someway. Even though many have considerable amounts of wealth, they are somewhat unhappy with their lives. The characters unhappiness is demonstrated by their attitudes, their carelessness, and their somewhat solitude. Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby, and Nick Carraway all show dissolution and unhappiness with their lives.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby was born into a life of poverty and as he grew up he became more aware of the possibility of a better life. He created fantasies that he was too good for his modest life and that his parents weren’t his own. When he met Daisy, a pretty upper class girl, his life revolved around her and he became obsessed with her carefree lifestyle. Gatsby’s desire to become good enough for Daisy and her parents is what motivates him to become a wealthy, immoral person who is perceived as being sophisticated.

Daisy's secrecy about her affairs with Gatsby are completely justified because it is keeping her relationship with Tom Buchanan alive. There is bound to be a disaster if Tom discovers Gatsby and Daisy's relationship. Additionally, Tom is cheating on Daisy anyhow, so it is only right that she can reunite with who she truly loves.

“The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at some time…” (75) The Great Gatsby

Money can buy materialistic things but can it buy love? In the book, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we are introduced to the narrator, Nick Carraway. We learn that Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s cousin, had loved a man before he left for the war named, Jay Gatsby, but now Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan, from Chicago. Gatsby tries everything to win Daisy’s love back. He tries impressing her with all the money in the world in which he even buys a house to be near Daisy and show her that he could get anything and everything he wants, but in the end, Gatsby’s money ends up losing in buying Daisy’s love. Fitzgerald reveals the theme money can’t buy love through the use of word choice, symbolism, and hyperbole.

Will true love itself keep people satisfied and motivated? Both F. Scott Fitzgerald and E.E. Cummings support this idea in their works. In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby died protecting the love of his life, and in the poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” anyone and noone died satisfied with the love they shared with each other. Both show that love is still present in the world and that there are still some people in the world who actually care about others, Both authors use tone, imagery, and symbolism to reveal this concept.

Gatsby’s devotion to Daisy motivates him to earn more riches and be successful. In addition, when he invites Daisy over to his house he starts to “[revalue] everything in his house according to the measure it drew from her well loved eyes” (Fitzgerald 91). Gatsby’s observation of how Daisy examines his house, his luxurious objects, and wealthy lifestyle makes him obsessed with impressing her with his lavish items. In an attempt to impress Daisy, Gatsby throws expensive silk shirts onto Daisy and hopes that she is amazed at his ability to afford such objects. For this reason, Daisy responds, “They’re such beautiful shirts...It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such-- such beautiful shirts before” (92). Daisy’s intense feelings to these high-priced shirts indicates she is not sad about regretting her marriage to Tom or missing being with Gatsby, but rather feels deprived of not possessing these well-made shirts. Daisy’s actions towards these shirts demonstrate her personality of being

The Great Gatsby is a novel where love is a main focus, but is the love purchased? Purchased love was huge in the 1920s, which is the time period this novel was written in. Purchased love is where one or both people in the relationship buy things for each other, so they are loved. Some people only know this kind of love. For example, we could assume Tom. Usually families who had a lot of money, like Tom’s, arranged marriages with other wealthy families, like Daisy. Although, not all purchased love is this way.

“How helpless we are, like netted birds, when we are caught by desire!” Belva Plain, American author of mainstream fiction, believed society cannot be helped when they want something they cannot have. Gatsby, a respectable yet manipulative character in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, loves Daisy and will go beyond what is normal to be with her. Through Gatsby’s decisions and social interactions, Fitzgerald agrees with the idea that desire can lead people into traps like netted birds.

The Great Gatsby was about a man named Nick Caraway who moves to New York in the summer 1922 to learn about the bond business. Bonds were booming at the time due to the prosperity of the economy. He rented a house just beside this beautiful and extravagant mansion owned by Jay Gatsby. Jay Gatsby would host these lavish parties every Saturday in hope that his long lost lover, Daisy Buchanan, would come. He then had the idea of inviting Nick Caraway over to talk to him about Daisy, since Nick was Daisy’s cousin. They later arranged a date when Daisy could come so that they can rekindle the love they once had for each other.

It is very clear in the text that Gatsby is only in love with the idea of loving Daisy, but does not actually love her. Gatsby creates this imagined reality of the connection he shares with Daisy that doesn’t actually exist. Sure, maybe at one point the connection was there, many years ago when they first established it, but it has died and he just refuses to see that. I believe that Gatsby believes that he is in love with Daisy, I even believe that after a while Daisy believes that she still reciprocates these feelings as well. This being said, no matter how hard both of them push for this connection mentally and emotionally, their actions speak louder than their dreams.

When you are accused for having an unloyal marriage, you might want to take a look at what seems like the epitome of all bad marriages. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Narrated by Nick Carraway, he is a bystander to falsely advertised relationships. His old friend, Tom Buchanan is cheating on his wife Daisy, with a woman in New York by the name of Myrtle Wilson. Daisy is actually cheating on Tom as well with Jay Gatsby, the main character, when Nick reintroduces them from a past relationship. Tom becomes furious so he decides to confront Daisy, and she tells him that Jay and her had had a relationship before and they knew each other before she even met tom. Daisy says that she only married Tom because she thought that he was a gentleman and she announces “I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe”. The marriage between Tom and Daisy is a perfect example of many

When a person’s greatest hope does not come true, it can not only leave them stuck and unsure what to do with their lives, but cause emotional damage as well. Putting all the eggs in one basket means that if the person loses the basket, he or she loses everything they essentially live for as well. Obviously, this leaves him or her in the lowest depths of despair. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald once again uses the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy, this time to demonstrate how much hurt a broken dream can cause. Within the first hours of being reunited with his former love, Gatsby begins to suspect that the situation will not fall perfectly into place the way he imagined. Nick, after attending this awkward reunion, reflects, “There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything... No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart” (103). Although Daisy still appears as beautiful and charming as ever, Gatsby’s false image of her after several lonely years expands so much larger than life that the real Daisy plainly disappoints Gatsby. Fitzgerald strongly warns against the pitfalls of hope - once a person fixates on an idea, such as Gatsby did, reality cannot compete with the power the idea has over the person, leading to a delusional and unsatisfactory life in actuality.
