How To Write An Epilogue To Daisy Buchanan

Through the course of the novel, Daisy handles her husband?s affair very calmly. Even when Tom?s mistress telephones during dinner Daisy exclaims, ?it couldn?t be helped,? (20). Although she must obviously be hurting deeply on the inside, Daisy displays no physical signs of distress over her husband?s affair. This makes her appear stronger than she really is.

Daisy is probably the most careless person in the whole novel. Tom’s carelessness causes a lot of damage to others, but his actions were deliberate and thought out. Unlike Tom, Daisy’s is careless because her dream is to live in a luxurious, protected world, where there is no such thing as consequences. In order to accomplish this dream you must be a “fool”. ”And I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” This represents how Daisy believes all a girl should be is careless. Daisy is stuck in a bad marriage with a cheating, brute of a man. Daisy hopes her daughter will be foolish. That way, she won’t realize how bad her life is. Due to her foolishness and carelessness, she kills both Wilson

When I came back to the penthouse this morning, Daisy was gone, along with all of her possessions. The landlord said that Tom picked up Daisy the night before and paid the next year’s rent in cash if he kept quiet about their disappearance. Daisy never gave me a goodbye, not that it would be sincere anyway. I guess like Gatsby, I’ll never have closure.

Tom is explaining to everyone that’s in the room who is aware of what kind of person that Tom is, that he understands the type of person he is and he does sleep with other women and enjoys partying to an extent. He is trying to tell Daisy that deep down inside Daisy is the one that he loves and he will always return to her. Ultimately,

Daisy, a main character in the book The Great Gatsby is considered a “exploiter“. Somebody who is an exploiter marries a “lover’’ for their wealth so they can leech off their riches. Daisy leeched off Tom and Gatsby’s wealth by abusing their love for her. The color yellow, the color of Daisy’s hair can represent destructive power or death. The color yellow represents death because Daisy led on Gatsby which eventually led to his death , he died chasing his unreachable dream , Daisy.

When Tom, Nick, and Myrtle were at Tom and Myrtle’s apartment everything was going smooth until Myrtle says Daisy’s name. Tom doesn’t think she has a right to say her name and she does it anyway. Then he hits her and breaks her nose. He shouldn't want to feel like he should have control over Myrtle. (pg 37) Tom was also disrespectful when he dug up dirt on Gatsby. Tom brought up Gatsby's past and accused him of getting his fortune from illegal activity. He also found out he was an oxford man. And that Daisy knew Gatsby before Tom met Daisy.(pg 122) First off Toms cheating on Daisy with Myrtle is very disrespectful to both women. Tom says that cheating is dirty and women shouldn't be going around and doing that to their man. When he is doing the exact same thing to Daisy. (pg. 103) Overall Tom is easily pushed, unaware of the consequences to his behavior, and very disrespectful to the people around

When the subject of mythology is brought up, most people turn to the Greeks. Myth*, with the asterisk standing for the Minotaur, Persephone, Zeus. Thomas Foster—the author of How To Read Literature Like A Professor—points out that while the Greeks are far from the only group to have myths, they do appear to have a monopoly on much of the myth file in our communal consciousness. Is it really any surprise then, that Greek mythology is the inspiration for countless pieces of literature and art? Themes of love, faith, sacrifice, et cetera have drawn artists of many mediums in, and The Great Gatsby is no exception. Jay Gatsby and Daisy and Tom Buchanan have characteristics of major figures in Greek mythology that help infuse the story with distinctly

She is suspected to have known who Tom’s mistress was and she drove Gatsby’s car and not her own. “Was Daisy driving? …… Yes, he said after a moment” (Pg. 143). Earlier in this chapter she tells everyone that she wants to drive the car back home. She was the one who drove the car and she hit Myrtle. Gatsby was explaining to Nick about how Daisy was driving and he tried to get her to stop when Myrtle ran out into the road. “Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn’t” (Pg. 144). She hit Myrtle, this led her husband to thinking that it was Gatsby who killed his wife and this action got Gatsby shot. She was the main person who let her actions and love caused everything bad in this book to happen, she was the person who got Gatsby, one of her lovers,

Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle and causes heat between them two. Daisy is upset about

- He offered me to take the blame, but I know that did not kill Jill and that man. I could not. I loved Jill - contritely said the man and shut by the hands face. - I saw how he killed her and was unable to help ... no one believes me, and ye believe not. So why come? Convince me that I is guilty? - Tom shouted loudly and dramatically jumped out of bed, his face was purple, his eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his neck swelled and began to throb. - And all because you find it easier to shift the blame on me, than to find the

Page 77. Daisy recalls an incident with Tom: “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-she was one of the chambermaids in the Santa Barbara

After spending time with Daisy and reigniting that lost spark, he was confident that she felt the same way he did. He hoped that she would choose him over her husband. She didn’t know how to feel because, she did love Tom at one time, and she loves the security, money, and the lavish lifestyle that comes with him. Clearly betrayal comes easier to Daisy then making decisions.

If two people of opposite genders were to own an apartment together, most people would consider them to be in a committed relationship. However, this isn’t the case when regarding Myrtle and Tom’s apartment. They’re both being unfaithful to their partners, Daisy and George, and are using their apartment in New York as a hideout for their secret rendezvous. Nick and their neighbors, the McKees, were invited to a party at this residence where some very interesting things transpired. Not only did Nick get drunk for only the second time in his life, but, “Tom Buchanan broke [Myrtle’s] nose with his open hand.” (Fitzgerald.37) These events showcased just how superficial and shallow Tom truly is. He feels no guilt, whatsoever, for betraying Daisy, yet he has the urge to keep Myrtle in her place. He thinks that he is superior to everyone just because of his social status; he presumes that it is completely justified for him to bad mouth her husband, George, yet it is unethical for her, “to mention Daisy’s name.” (Fitzgerald.37) This turn of events signifies a change in the way society regards Tom. Instead of being thought of as fascinating, he is now looked upon as a hypocritical bully who takes his physical strength and wealth for granted.

Tom takes advantage of this situation and manipulates Daisy to completely depend on him. Daisy has spent her whole life being used to someone telling her what to do, and her relationship with Tom is no different. Even right after they got married, “If he left the room for a minute she’d look around uneasily and say: ‘‘Where’s Tom gone?’ and wear the most abstract expression until she saw him coming in the door” (77). Daisy relies solely on Tom and is “uneasy” without him around. Her dependence on Tom reflects not only his hyper masculinity, but how little he cares about Daisy. Despite this, he knows Daisy will never leave him, and pushes their marriage to the brink by having multiple affairs.

Mrs. Walker rode up in her carriage and persuaded Winterbourne to convince Daisy to join her because "fifty people have noticed her". Winterbourne stated that Mrs. Walker was making "too much of a fuss about it" but Mrs. Walker felt that Daisy was ruining herself.
