For Daisy is was hard staying with the man she married but her first love comes back after 5 years of hiding.

Continuing with the examination of the characters we come to Daisy. In chapter 1, the reader will read of how Tom had been having an adulterous relationship with Myrtle. One may actually have some type of sympathy for Daisy. However there is a time in which Gatsby, Nick, and Daisy were all at Gatsby’s house. While in the house Gatsby was giving a tour of the house with Nick and Daisy,

A significantly powerful emotion, love, possessing the ability to transform a live to the greatest but also destroy. The concepts of idealised love have been expressed in texts throughout history, and each is relevant to their specific periods and specific value systems. This can be seen in both, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s (EBB) poetry ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’, 1845 and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel ‘The Great Gatsby’, 1925 which explore in depth the similar perspectives of ideal love, although the context that surrounds each text reshapes the composer’s viewpoint. Barrett Browning explores a romantic vision of love and enhances our perception of this interpersonal human emotion through a rebellion of the unbending principles of the Victorian

In a heliocentric model of The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby is the sun. Every person and every event depicted in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1922 novel revolves around him and the choices that he makes. His achievement of wealth, love, and glory represent pinnacle of the american dream while the loss thereof portrays the resounding moral flaws of mankind. Concealed behind a shroud of mystery lies the real Jay Gatsby, not good nor evil, a man who, because of his unmistakable moral ambiguity, is a great influence on the people around him.

In this way, Daisy rebels against Tom’s infidelity by using Gatsby to get back at him. However, Daisy has never considered leaving Tom, even though all this time she knows that Tom has been having an affair with another woman. The main reason why is because Daisy longs for the love, financial stability, and the practicality that Tom can provide for her, and she knows that Tom would never leave her for the simple reason that they complete each other, with Daisy giving Tom increased social status by being from the higher class and an attractive wife, while Tom gives Daisy the stability that she needs in her life.

When reading The Great Gatsby, a book by F. Scott Fitzgerald, something is lacking through all the relationships within the book. What is lacking is the passion and the loyalty that most people have whenever they dedicate themselves to their relationship. There are multiple relationships, but only Tom is married to Daisy, the rest are scandals going on. They both are in a relationship where they both are cheating on each other with other people. Tom is in a relationship with a girl named Myrtle, who is already married to Wilson, and Daisy is in a relationship with Gatsby, someone who had a crush on her for years. These relationships represents the society in the 1920s in what it was like trying to live in that time period. As a result, Fitzgerald mocks the idea of love within the 1920s and calls out how people throughout the book only wished for a social ranking, wealth, and materialistic goods and shows how much of an unhealthy relationship most of the characters have.

Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Nick and Jordan have gone out to the city for the day. Gatsby and Daisy are all over each other, when Gatsby finally reveals to Tom that him and Daisy have loved each other for five years. Tom responds to Gatsby stating, “And what’s more I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time.’ ‘You’re revolting,’ said Daisy” (131). This shows that Tom thinks he can do whatever he would like, and Daisy will still love him after he goes on cheating sprees. Daisy proves him wrong. Tom says he loves Daisy, yet he continues to cheat on her because he knows from past experiences that she will just continue to stay with him, until now, he wants Daisy back because he realizes that she now loves another man. Tom thought that he could do as he pleased, and not stay faithful to Daisy and she would take that, but Daisy ended up finding another man, and loving him, and becomes further disgusted with Tom, something Tom never thought would happen. As Tom, Nick and Jordan are driving back home they realize that there has been a crash. Tom sees that Myrtle is dead and he overhears that she has been hit by what he believes is Gatsby’s car. Nick reveals Tom’s reaction as they drive home:“In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were

Tom was tired of Daisy, he just wanted someone to mess around with even though he was married to Daisy and had a daughter with her. Daisy decided to cheat on Tom his husband with Gatsby his ex boyfriend before he met Tom. Gatsby and Daisy had an affair when she went over to Gatsby's house. He wanted to bring back the past when they were once a couple,but Gatsby went off to war and she found someone else, which was Tom. Despite the fact that Daisy had a family,she still had an affair with Gatsby. In the other hand, Gatsby didn’t have a wife or a family. Daisy was the one being unloyal to his husband. He tells people that he said a relationship going on in the Midwest where he came from. Jordan says that Nick and his mysterious girlfriend were engaged. No one knows if it's true or not because no one knew how he lived in the Midwest. We don’t know if he breaks up with her. He was unloyal to his “wife” because throughout the novel he ended up going out with Daisy’s close friend Jordan. Myrtle was George's wife and she had an affair going on with Tom, Daisy's husband. She thought that

This shows that even though Tom was having an affair on Daisy, he still cares about her well-being. That will never change. His feelings decrease, but they married one another for a reason. Daisy may still think of Gatsby every now and then,

As Gatsby and Daisy continue to indulge in their love for each other, tensions with Tom and Daisy rise. In the final confrontation between Gatsby and Tom, Daisy’s world comes spiraling down. She is struck picking between Tom and Gatsby and confesses to Gatsby, “Oh, you want too much!’...‘I love you now – isn't that enough? I can't help what's past.’...‘I did love him once – but I loved you too.” (132). This confirms that Daisy is not the kind-hearted person that we were introduced to in the beginning. Instead she is a selfish woman who only acts for herself and her husband, and she will never be the same in the reader's eyes. The choice should have been easy after all that she went through with Gatsby in the past but she shows that there is always another side to the coin. The situation escalates and finally plateaus when Gatsby attacks Tom. Tom confident that he has won over Daisy, signals them to go home. In a flustered mindset Daisy accidently runs over Myrtle on her way back and Gatsby takes the blame. He explains to Nick, “Well, first Daisy turned away from the woman toward the other car, and then she lost her nerve and turned back” (143). Fitzgerald portrayed her as a morally good person but when she purposely slams Myrtle with a car it is shown otherwise. Daisy

When Gatsby discovered that Daisy had married someone else, Tom Buchanan, he went about doing whatever he deemed necessary to win her back. While Daisy truthfully stated that she loved both Gatsby and Tom equally. Gatsby was devastated and dumbstruck that he was not the only one she had loved for the past five years. Daisy cries, ¨Oh, you want too much! she cried to Gatsby. I Love you now- isn't that enough? I can't help what's past. She began to sob helplessly. I did love him once-but I loved you too¨(Fitzgerald 132). This reveals, Gatsby's selfish desire of putting Daisy in the spotlight to prove that she never loved Tom but him. The fact that he had driven Daisy into making this statement shows how Gatsby is head over heels for Daisy, and his want and desire is growing stronger each and every passing

While most people chase love, few know that it is foolish. One should not chase after love, but allow it to find them naturally. Obviously, Gatsby was none the wiser about that bit of advice. In the story, we see Gatsby chase after his supposedly long lost love, but is she truly his love? With how little time they spent together, how much they’ve grown throughout the years, and all that has happened in both of their lives, does Gatsby truly love Daisy, a married mother of one? Their star-crossed story is the perfect example of a hold on the past destroying a future. This essay will explore their strange and twisted romance while supporting one simple fact. Jay Gatsby was not in love with Daisy.
