Now that I can look back over my life I see that me and Daisy probably wouldn't have lasted long, even if she did leave Tom for me, as Tom was a spiteful man and he would have found a way to rip me and Daisy apart just as he had told George that something needed to be done about me. You see if me and Daisy had run away together, he would have hired someone to hunt me down and kill me. I did not see this man as being very dangerous when I was alive,
Even though Daisy knew Tom was cheating on her, she didn’t act like it bothered her that much. She wanted to keep her marital status. Daisy knew about Myrtle Wilson. She knew that everyone else also knew about Tom and Myrtle, but she didn’t let anyone ruin her marriage. Daisy could’ve easily had anyone she wanted. She could’ve had a better life with someone that pays all their attention to her, not someone else. She would’ve rather been considered a fool than be a
In The Great Gatsby, Daisy and Myrtle are both at fault for Myrtle’s death because Myrtle is foolish and Daisy is heedless.
The saying “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and to be loved by George Sand connects the many relationships in the novel The Great Gatsby. George Sand was a French Romantic writer known primarily for her so-called rustic novels. In the The Great Gatsby, many people argue that the story is a romantic-type story with the affection of love that is shown with different links with each character. Love is a very powerful feeling that has the ability to cause jealousy which can lead to death. Gatsby’s emotions for his woman was all grudge from Tom. Gatsby never was happy with his life without Daisy Buchanan. The most interesting man, Gatsby, has his world turned upside down in an instant pull of a trigger. In the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character that is most responsible for the death of Jay Gatsby is Nick Carraway.
Daisy is also responsible for Gatsby’s death due to her lack of morals. After hitting Myrtle Wilson, Daisy should have stopped the car and gotten help. Instead, her dark side comes into play when she refuses to stop the car despite Gatsby’s pleads. Gatsby explains to Nick after the incident ‘Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn’t’ (Gatsby, 137). Not only did Daisy refuse to slow down, but instead sped up, intending to not own up to her actions. In the aftermath of Myrtles death, Daisy indeed did not own up to her actions, knowing that her adoring Gatsby would take the blame. She went even as far as leaving town in order to escape her sins. As Nick puts it – about Daisy and her husband Tom – “They smashed up things
All throughout most of Gatsby's life, he had been very popular and very wealthy. All Gatsby cared about was what others thought of him, specifically Daisy. Gatsby wanted people to think that he was wealthy and Gatsby wanted to fit in with all the people in West Egg. Gatsby's early life had mostly been a mystery to the world. Many of the things he told Nick and other people were not a hundred percent known to be true or false. Nick might have known the things Gatsby said he was to be untrue because Nick knew that Gatsby liked to show off.
Gatsby is a character that want to success his achievement. For example, his goal is to polish his life, but he quickly change after he saw Daisy Buchanan. The image of that green light, symbol of Gatsby's faith, which is burning across the bay. This scene draws on the "violent hour" passage from "The Fire Sermon" in which "the human engine waits/like a taxi throbbing waiting...It is hour of a profound human change, and in the famous stirring of Gatsby's recognition there is for a moment, perhaps, a possibility of his escape. But the essence of the American dream whose tragedy Gatsby is enacting is that it lives in a past and a future that never existed, and is helpless in the present that does. (Bloom, Harold. “F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.” F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Chelsea House Publishers, Philadelphia, 2004,
In a Funeral, People come to show support for the surviving family members, and offer them a chance to remember the person who died. But in the Great Gatsby, we can see the real faces of the characters in the story. It is like no one did not really care about Jay Gatsby 's death, that is a cruel thing when the people who, in better times, take every opportunity to be at Gatsby's house, drinking his liquor, eating his food, and enjoying his hospitality, but abandon him at the end. Then Daisy and Tom have left without a saying any words.
Roaring and Booming, American culture in the 1920’s drastically evolved. Women defied gender rules, money became easier to obtain, life moved faster and faster by the year. This rapid consumer culture drove too quickly and, as a result, caused the economy to crash and burn. Just as society grew eager for new and beneficial consumer goods, Gatsby and Daisy grew eager for each other’s plastic, external qualities. However, both America and these character’s relationship illustrates the fruit-less and rotten state of moving too quickly. Developed within F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the life cycle of fruit mirrors the spoiled relationship between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchannan. Gatsby’s longing for the perfect “American” romance drives his

Gatsby is not corrupt. He may have shady things but all were driven by the one thing that preyed on him. His objectivism of Daisy.

Are you an American Dreamer? There are a lot of people who dream about accomplishing the American dream, but is it that simple? F. Scott. Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby to expose the difficulties in accomplishing the American dream to Americans. Nevertheless, he also warns people who move to the United States to accomplish their American dream about the hardships they would face.
In my opinion F. Scott Fitzgerald thinks money is horrible thing, it makes a person selfish and spoiled. If people just fell in love with someone's personality and not be a gold digger, no one could've died in the novel. Almost everyone in the story was interested in each others wealth and fortune. They cheated and lied their way to the top just to make sure they get what they want not caring about each other's feeling. If Daisy had just waited for Gatsby, she and him could have lived happily together but she went off with Tom because she thought Gatsby would never have that amount of fortune due to his time in army. Myrtle never cared about anyone or anything except herself. The reason she wanted Tom is because he bought her everything
For Gatsby his dream was Daisy,but really it turned out his life ended up being all about Daisy. Getting the expensive house and the grand parties. It was almost like he never truly saw life in any other way. Its like he only saw life through one lens and that was it. He never shifted his point of view and never wanted anybody else's opinion on how or where he was going with this. He felt that this was the right thing to do. He thought this was the right thing to do. At the end of the book we can see how his plans worked out. They didn't fail when he died, they failed when Daisy didn't go to his funeral. So really Gatsby never truly made his dreams come true. He could barley touch it, but couldn't fully grasp it. It's sad when reading the book
