The novel’s key female character, Daisy Buchannan, represents the role of Tom’s shallow trophy wife who is idolized as the “ideal” individual within the consciousness of Jay Gatsby. Subsequently it was never Daisy’s knowledge or character type that attracted Gatsby; it was more based upon her wealth, “That was it. I 'd never understood before. It was full of money—that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, [and] the cymbals ' song of it” (Fitzgerald, 99). Although Daisy is far from being flawless, Gatsby interprets

“The past is never where you think you left it” (Katherine Anne Porter). People intentionally not willing to leave their past due to the prehistoric memories because the good memory they had. Relevant to Porter’s evince in the novel of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby a guy who cannot leave his past, constantly wanting to change everything back to the past with his former lover Daisy but never succeeds due to people’ desire of meliorate their lives. During this process the novel also reveals that there’s no distinction of careless between people in the 1920’s and the corruption of American Dream. Fitzgerald uses color symbolism to reveal the unfaithful condition of living and the loss of purity also the descended moral

According to the newspaper company The Telegraph, daisies can become “serious weeds” and have the ability “thrive in generally inhospitable conditions.” This informative description of a common daisy mirrors F. Scott Fitzgerald’s character, Daisy Buchanan. In his novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy tries to preserve the stability of her wealthy lifestyle through her marriage with Tom Buchanan instead of pursuing true love with Gatsby. Daisy becomes monotonous and dependent on wealth to act as an equilibrator of her life. Her dependency becomes uncontrollable, and that like that beautiful, innocent flower, she becomes a vile weed rooted in corruption. Fitzgerald implements Daisy as a way to convey the innate destructive property of wealth; it

“I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”

The story of The Great Gatsby is a novel that consists of a historical American context during the Harlem Renaissance. This was an excellent novel published in the 1920’s and was considered one of the best novels of its time. The author F. Scott Fitzgerald was an incredibly talented poetic author. Fitzgerald was able to emphasize and create the mood of the generation in a political time. The novel The Great Gatsby is a remarkable novel but also a very sad one. The novel took place during an age or era known as the “Roaring Twenties” which was a time of American wealth. Politics and corruption at the time is possibly what made Gatsby to be the business man he was.

This literary study will define the class-based ideal of Daisy in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jay Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy is based on her upper class appearance, which represents the “ideal” of external purity. The external nature of Daisy’s appearance provides a context for her upper class sensibilities that seem to float above the nouveau riche and the lower classes. Daisy often appears as an angelic figure dressed in white that seduces Gatsby through high society mannerisms. However, Daisy is a materialistic and selfish woman that enjoys the benefits of wealth over true love, since she allows her husband, Tom Buchanan, to have extramarital affairs. Jay’s obsession with Daisy is based on a delusion of purity through the external beauty of a wealthy woman. In essence, a literary analysis of the class-based ideal of Daisy will be defined in The Great Gatsby by F. Scot Fitzgerald.

Daisy, like her husband, is a girl of material and class at heart, and Gatsby being her escape from a hierarchist world. Daisy has just grown up knowing wealth, so in her greedy pursuit of happiness and the “American Dream” Myrtle Wilson died, Gatsby's heart and life were compromised, without claiming responsibility on her part. Daisy was “by far the most popular of all the young girls in Louisville...” (116) Jordan says, describing early affections between Daisy and Gatsby. She goes on to say, “...all day long the telephone rang in her house and excited young officers from Camp Taylor demanded the privilege of monopolizing her that night.” (116) . Daisy was a fancied girl who has Gatsby tied around her finger, Jordan explains that he was looking at Daisy “...in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at some time...” (117). Daisy, abusing Gatsby’s love for her uses it to create security and protection, greedily and selfishly allowing him to take the fault. While Daisy’s beautiful, alluring traits turn her into an innocent, naive flower, she plays the ultimate villain.

Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s cousin, is in an unhappy marriage with Tom Buchanan; who comes from “old money” but who 's also physically and mentally abusive to her. Everyone is aware of the affair, especially Daisy, yet she continues to stay not only because of public opinion but also because of Tom’s wealth. Daisy loved Gatsby when he was poor but because of his poverty she didn’t want to be with him, so she married Tom. Daisy is the typical “southern belle” in that she is a stock character representing rich white women of the south in the 1920s. Gatsby has always been deeply infatuated with Daisy; she represents all the things Gatsby wants: wealth, social status, glamour. Fitzgerald develops a character best compared to a Siren from the Odyssey. Nick describes her voice as “[...] a thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again[...]excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion[...]” (Fitzgerald, 33). Daisy has a “singing compulsion” and

When writing The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald put the utmost thought into his characters. Every person in the book was planned to the last detail. All the characters are extremely complex and diverse. Parties, glamour, and glitz, The Great Gatsby captures the rich essence of the 1920s along with all the dirty secrets that went along with this time period. Tom Buchanan was the visual of the 1920s; he was living the American Dream. He had both the money and the dirty secrets. But there is more to Tom than meets the eye. Tom Buchanan is a man who knows what he wants and will knock down anyone in his way to get it, but this need to command comes from a deeper desire for power.

After World War I, America offered the potential for boundless financial and social opportunities for those willing to work hard—an American Dream. The American Dream is defined as someone starting low on the economic or social level, and working hard towards prosperity and or wealth and fame. Establishing fame, becoming wealthy, having lavish luxuries, and a happy family would come to symbolize this dream. For some, however, striving for and realizing that dream ruined them, as many acquired wealth only to pursue pleasure. Even though the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby appear to relish the freedom of the 1920s, their lives demonstrate the emptiness that results when wealth and pleasure become ends in themselves. Specifically, the empty lives of three characters from this novel— George Wilson, Jay Gatsby, and Daisy Buchanan—show that chasing hollow dreams results only in misery.

Alcoholism, social classes, and an ideal girl are a few examples that are contradicted in this novel. Daisy Buchanan is represented as the perfect ideal girl in the 1920s. She is considered to be the most beautiful, sweetest, and caring woman that every man is looking for. Even with this image, she still has a few quirks that could revamp her impeccable personality. The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, characterizes Daisy as a woman of deceitful persona who is mindful yet tries to hide her true intentions through her false ignorance, secrecy, and unclear decisions
