Relationship Between Daisy's Relationship In The Great Gatsby

Gatsby exemplifies an individual who can not always get what he or she yearns for. He possesses more than millions of people have combined, yet is still not satisfied. There is only one thing that Gatsby is destined to have, and that is Daisy Buchanan’s unconditional love. Hence by the name, she is married to another man: Tom Buchanan. The madness begins before Daisy gets married when she shares a kiss of a lifetime with James Gatz. Gatsby allows himself to fall in love with her, and from that moment on, all of his life decisions and daily problems are stimulated by Daisy, and framed around her life. Some may consider Gatsby to be an extreme stalker or nutcase, but in reality Gatsby simply has faith in

The Great Gatsby is considered to be a great American novel full of hope, deceit, wealth, and love. Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful and charming young woman who can steal a man’s attention through a mere glance. Throughout the novel, she is placed on a pedestal, as if her every wish were Gatsby’s command. Her inner beauty and grace are short-lived, however, as Scott Fitzgerald reveals her materialistic character. Her reprehensible activities lead to devastating consequences that affect the lives of every character. I intend to show that Daisy, careless and self-absorbed, was never worthy of Jay Gatsby’s love, for she was the very cause of his death.

Throughout the novel The Great Gatsby the author F. Scott Fitzgerald has created dysfunctional relationships between characters to provoke the audience to react is a specific way. Today we will be taking a detailed look at the relationship between the characters Daisy and Tom and demonstrate how the author has created a dysfunctional relationship between the pair as they fail to meet basic requirements of a healthy marriage of love and loyalty.

In chapter one of the novel The Great Gatsby, the central couple presented are Tom and Daisy Buchanan. These two partners, although different, have similar personalities but also have contrasting differences. Throughout chapter 1, these two portray that wealth is better than everything else, and they both revolve and base their lives on it. Also in this chapter it shows the hardships and difficulties they have in their marriage. They are both never satisfied with what they have, and are always longing for more. During chapter 1 it was apparent that Tom and Daisy had an unstable relationship.

Tom and Daisy are both similar in the way they were brought up in their rich lives. Hence, the way Daisy is impatient in getting married right away to Tom. “They had spent a year in france for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together.”(pg. 6) Nick describes Tom and Daisy as restless and rich and as one type of person. They were alike in many ways from the beginning to end. As rich people they connected as needing to marry to reassure their status as old money. “She wanted her life shaped now, immediately- and the decision must be made by some force- of love, of money, of unquestionable practicality- that was close at hand.” (pg. 151) When Tom and Daisy met, Daisy was impatient at her young age and wanted her life to move to the next stage already. The kind of people that Tom and Daisy were lead to other personal reasons that are more complicated than just certain facts about

In a healthy relationship, both individuals should put the needs of the other before their own. Additionally there should be a mutual love and respect between the partners. Trust, good communication, and happiness are all apart of the foundation of a strong relationship. Without these aspects, the relationship may not be healthy or mutual. According to Aristotle, there are three different kinds of friendships, which can also apply to romantic relationships. First there is the friendship of utility: a friendship that exists when one person is or has something that is useful to the other. Next, there is the level of pleasure, which is a relationship between two people who enjoy spending time with the other. Lastly, a relationship between people

F. Scott Fitzgerald the author of the “Great Gatsby” portrays the uncomfortable feelings throughout Gatsby and Daisy's relationship. Fitzgerald implies this by using diction, literature, and syntax throughout the scene. The author's purpose is to make the reader understand the discomfort and nerves between the relationship by using literary devices.

The theme at the heart of the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald lies in the doomed relationship between the protagonist, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. Narrated by Nick Carraway, the friend of Gatsby’s whom Gatsby finally confides in at the most tragic moment of his life, the story unfolds against the backdrop of the roaring 20’s.

“In his blue gardens men and women came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars” (Fitzgerald 39). In his character, his relationships, and his gatherings, Jay Gatsby epitomized the illusion of a perfect romance. When Gatsby and Daisy met in 1917, he was searching for money, but ended up profoundly falling in love with her. “[H]e set out for gold and stumbled upon a dream” (Ornstein 37). Only a few weeks after meeting one another, Gatsby had to leave for war, which led to a separation between the two for nearly five years. As “war-torn lovers” Gatsby and Daisy reach the quintessential ideal of archetypical romance. When Gatsby returned from the war, his goal was to rekindle the relationship he once had with Daisy. In order to do this, he believed he would have to work hard to gain new wealth and a new persona. “Jay Gatsby loses his life even though he makes his millions because they are not the kind of safe, respectable money that echoes in Daisy’s lovely voice” (Ornstein 36). Gatsby then meets Daisy’s cousin, Nick Carraway, who helps to reunite the pair. Finally being brought together after years of separation, Gatsby stops throwing the extravagant parties at his home, and “to preserve [Daisy’s] reputation, [he] empties his mansion of lights and servants” (Ornstein 37). Subsequent to their reconciliation, Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband, begins to reveal sordid information about Gatsby’s career which causes Daisy to

The 1920s was a wild time filled with abundance of wealth, extravagant parties, organized crime, and bootlegging to bypass the prohibition. The Great Gatsby, written by Scott Fitzgerald, is realistic fiction novel that takes place in New York in the 1920s. Two of the character in The Great Gatsby, Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, are both male figures that both want the love of Tom’s wife and Gatsby’s ex lover, Daisy Buchanan. There are numerous differences between the characters of Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, nevertheless they are alike in some fashions which ultimately rationalizes Daisy choosing Tom.

While Gatsby desires just Daisy, Tom doesn’t feel any guilt cheating on Daisy and her knowing about it. Using her only as a trophy wife to be there for others to see what he own, demonstrates the person he is. At one of Gatsby’s famous parties, Daisy’s sarcasm displays itself when she says, “Go ahead,” answered Daisy genially, “and if you want to take down any addresses here’s my little gold pencil (105).” On the outside some may think of this gesture to be very nice. But knowing Tom and Daisy’s history, we know that Daisy is aware of the way Tom treats her. The gesture that Daisy displays of handing Tom the pencil creates an inference that he will be writing down names of potential women he wants to sleep with. Daisy is used to being objectified like this and she is not afraid to bring a sarcastic tone to him. Tom is a man of upper SES and old money, giving him the “right” to have mistresses while having a family of his own already. His higher SES puts him above others, resulting in his decision to cheat on

Fitzgerald presents his audience with Daisy, a married “girl” who eventually reunited with the lost love of her life, Jay Gatsby. While breaking rules and being adventurous, Daisy ultimately brings Gatsby to his death. Although she explores her sexuality and runs off behind her husband Tom’s back, Daisy continues to be oppressed. Tom’s aggressiveness and wealth force Daisy to depend on him, making her a slave of her husband. Because of this, she can not leave him to be with Gatsby, the one she loves. Doing so would mean losing economic support and losing a stable life. In this way, her husband defines her life. There is an evident contrast however with Tom’s role. Tom keeps an apartment away from home for his mistress and gets away with it. Because he is the man, society would not dare punish him for exploring his liberties. Daisy on the other hand is inferior to Tom and, as a social norm, is not allowed to indulge in such freedoms because doing so would bring shame to her honor.
