The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Gatsby and Daisy had met years prior, but ended up going their separate ways. However, Gatsby remained in love with Daisy and longed for her affection. The two reconcile, and Daisy starts seeing Gatsby outside of her marriage with Tom. In this, Daisy is leading Gatsby on by making him believe he will attain his ultimate dream: a life with her. However, Daisy knows deep down she will not leave Tom for Gatsby. This is proven when a confrontation about the affair sparks between Tom and Gatsby, and Daisy attempts to defend Gatsby and stick up to Tom, but ultimately fails and retreats back to her husband. “Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions, whatever courage she had had, were definitely gone” (Fitzgerald 135). Daisy’s carelessness shines through in leading Gatsby to believe she would abandon Tom for him, but fails to follow through. She recklessly broke the heart of the man who had been in love with her for many

Jay Gatsby lives a true rags to riches story, starting living in the Midwest and ending with a massive mansion complete with servants and beautiful decorations. Gatsby had a love for daisy, starting when they met at a gathering at her house for officers at camp Taylor. They went out a few more dates and Gatsby fell in love with her. Tragically, Gatsby went to war and was not able to see her for many years, Gatsby also try to make something of himself after the war, so Daisy would love him. without Gatsby's presence, she married Tom Buchanan, but I believe the feelings that she had for Gatsby, never went away. Through all the years, Gatsby still loved Daisy and he was dissatisfied until he finally got her again. This is shown when Gatsby says "he knew that he had lost a part of it, the freshest and best,

One of life’s most difficult decisions is making the right choice when faced with two imperfect options. That is Daisy Buchanan’s task throughout the book. The attention grabbing Great Gatsby was written by one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Daisy Buchanan, the female lead in Great Gatsby is an egocentric woman. Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan is a one-dimensional man and his relationship with Daisy is strained.

Daisy has clearly chose Tom over Gatsby when she turns to Tom for help when things get hard. Daisy can't own up to her own actions, she needs Tom to fall on. At this moment Gatsby is still obsessed with Daisy. He doesn’t even see that she had chose Tom right in front of his eyes.

“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

Finally, Jay Gatsby’s delusions draws more pity for him. Daisy comes from a rich family and chances of her ending up with Gatsby, a poor soldier, is totally unrealistic. Furthermore Gatsby wants Daisy to “ go to Tom and say: ‘I never loved you’” (105) but Daisy asserts that “ [she] can’t say [she] never loved Tom…It wouldn’t be true.”(126) Jay cannot grasp the present reality that Daisy could not leave Tom permanently, especially when the fruit of their love is already three years of age.

Gatsby dedicates his entire life to Daisy. He accumulates his fortune, throws extravagant parties every weekend, moves his entire live to West Egg, and distorted utopia that is liable to collapse at any moment all in the hopes of wooing Daisy (Fitzgerald 46). Daisy’s main reason for choosing Tom over Gatsby was because “ (Gatsby) ...was poor and she was tired of waiting” (Fitzgerald 130). Gatsby believed that Daisy would only notice him if every aspect of his life reputable and “In order to be reputable, it must be wasteful” (Veblen 11). Gatsby does everything in his power to become a suitable husband for Daisy, but attempts to control his fate ultimately conquer him in

When scrolling through Twitter, Instagram and other social websites people see models and actors with a skinny waist, flawless skin, big butt, and large breasts. People are tricked by these photoshopped, unrealistic, and inhuman models. This is true for businessmen, politicians, and even people in our own communities. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, The Great Gatsby, all the characters in the book portray themselves differently from their true selves because they are corrupted by greed, money, or love. Gatsby, in the beginning, had a sense of mystery and intrigue, about him but when we actually meet him and get to know him we discover that he is a lying, despicable man. Many people want to look better in other’s eyes and will distort their

Is the American dream accessible to all? In the Jazz age/Modernist novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald suggest through Jay Gatsby, a new-money millionaire with a mysterious past, that its impossible for one to achieve his/her american dream. Fitzgerald narrates the novel through Nick Carraway, a old-money stock broker who has moved out to West Egg, “the less fashionable of the two” for the summer of 1922. The other “Egg”, named after their strange shape, East Egg, is where the old-money rich reside, and where Nick’s cousin, Daisy and her husband Tom Buchanan live. Fitzgerald reveals that although there are people that live other American’s American Dream, it is impossible for one to achieve their dream if they are not born into it, by using motifs of the Social Hierarchy and using rhetorical devices such as imagery and symbolism.

Daisy and Tom’s egotistical behaviour caused them to do things that eventually led to the fall of Gatsby. Daisy is a careless person who does not realize that her actions affect people and this is shown when she leads Gatsby on, making him think that she is in love with him and that she will leave her husband, Tom, for him. She is not loyal and she loved two different men

Tom barely shows any devotion to Daisy while Gatsby’s dedicates his life to her, yet Daisy chooses to stay with Tom and his status than to run away with the lost love of her life. Even though they don’t share raw passion and true love, they both would rather remain married despite the fact that they both know that the other have had affairs. They both give and take what they want most. Tom gives Daisy wealth and high social standing, and Tom needs the outside world to see him with a perfect wife which happens to be Daisy. By acknowledging each other’s faults they can weigh their options with a clear mind, and really evaluate what’s important to them in a relationship. Daisy values old money, and she “vanished into her rich house, into her rich, full life” (149) because security is important to her. Even though Tom and Daisy do not represent the perfect couple, their relationship will probably last until death because they are open, and they offer what the other wants without blindly believing that they were perfect for each other. Just because their relationship is long-lasting, does not mean that they should stay together. Their relationship is strong, but it is grotesquely unhealthy. Not only have there been numerous affairs, but Tom is also a violent man. He broke Myrtle's nose, and earlier Daisy lightly accuses Tom of hurting her

There was no acceptable reason for her to be with him if she was still in love with Gatsby. Gatsby had gone to war and Daisy was tired of waiting and wanted to have a relationship where she would be able to live a fashionable and astonishing life. Tom was able to give this lifestyle

Throughout history each generation and decade has had their group of “hippies” and “youth movements”. Both do not follow the rules of the previous generation, who tend to be more strict. But, there is a peak generation where the generation brings them back in and restarts the cycle. The “roaring 20’s” was considered the peak of most cycles. With World War One over people stopped planning for the future and lived in the now. Americans wasted all of the overall increase in wealth on non-ethical adventures. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story The Great Gatsby, the morals of the people in the book reflected the morality of the people who lived during the 1920’s, also known as the “roaring 20’s”.

Scott F. Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is the story of a delusional man named Jay Gatsby, who throws extravagant parties in the hopes it will attract his past love. However, once Jay attracts the attention of his love, Daisy, he has to deal with her husband, and this leads to a confrontation that forces Daisy to choose between Gatsby and her husband. Daisy seems to have a hard time choosing between the two, but the question is, what does she have to think about that could influence her decision? And why would she choose Tom if he is displayed in such a negative light?

   In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the story of a romantic ideal and its ultimate destruction by the inexorable rot and decay of modern life. The story is related by Nick Carraway, who has taken a modest rental house next door to Jay Gatsby's mansion. Jay Gatsby is a young millionaire who achieves fabulous wealth for the sole purpose of recapturing the love of his former sweetheart, Daisy Fay Buchanan. Five years prior to the principal events of the story, Daisy broke off with Gatsby and married the vulgar and arrogant Tom Buchanan because he was rich and came from a respectable family. In the years since, Gatsby turns his memory of Daisy into a near-religious
