The Great Gatsby And Daisy Relationship

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.

The author’s presentation of women is unflattering and unsympathetic. The women are not described with depth. When given their description, Fitzgerald appeals to their voice, “ she had a voice full of money”, their looks “her face was lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes, and a bright passionate mouth”, and the way in which they behave, “ ’They’re such beautiful shirts’ she sobbed”, rather than their feelings or emotions, for example, Daisy is incapable of genuine affection, however she is aimlessly flirtatious.

Gatsby’s dream of being with Daisy is completely shattered by Tom’s words and Daisy’s demeanor and actions. Tom reveals the truth about the persona that Gatsby had created, known as “Jay Gatsby.” Tom tells them all that Gatsby is a “common swindler” and a “bootlegger…and [he] wasn’t far from wrong” to assume; consequently, Daisy was “drawing further into herself,” for learning how Gatsby obtained his affluence changed her mind about wanting to be with him. Her intentions of leaving Tom vanished within her, as she told Gatsby that he demanded too much of her. When it all becomes too much to bear, Daisy resorts to calling to Tom to take her away demonstrating to Gatsby that she picks Tom over him. This was Gatsby worst nightmare: to have Daisy

Daisy finds out that Gatsby achieves his wealth by bootlegging and questionable activities which scares her. Daisy chooses Tom to have a normal, pampered life, she is afraid that she could get hurt if she got intertwined in Gatsby’s business. In this passage: “Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table...He was talking intently across the table at her, and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in a while she looked up at him and nodded in agreement. They weren't happy...and yet they weren't unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said they were conspiring together.” it is believe that Tom and Daisy are talking about their plans for what comes next and moving out west, as they then leave shortly after. This shows that Daisy would rather have a comfortable, safe marriage, rather than be with someone she loved and constantly have the fear of being at

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.

In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson have many similarities and many differences. Both women are unhappy with their lives, both are greedy, but both women live very different lives. Both Myrtle and Daisy are unhappy with their lives and try to escape from them. Daisy Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson are also very greedy people in similar, but also in different ways. These women do whatever they want at the risk of their own lives as well as other people’s lives. Nick states, “They were careless people…” (Fitzgerald 179). The lives of Daisy and Myrtle are at the same time very different, almost opposite, even. Daisy and Myrtle are both selfish people who do not care about how they are affecting others,

The anger spreads like wildfire readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby see that Daisy Buchanan is going to stay with her cheating husband Tom Buchanan instead of leaving him for Jay Gatsby.

Love stories range from princesses to paupers but none can compare to the story of long lost loves. Although a common occurrence in the literary world, it is simply a classic, and no one told it better than F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald wrote from a place of familiarity for he was absorbed in a love of his own which you could see within his writing. Many novels had been written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but The Great Gatsby is arguably his most critically acclaimed piece. Set in the 1920s his main character Nick is a witness to the coming together and the falling apart of two lost lovers, Daisy and Gatsby.

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.

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 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
