Examples Of Daisy In The Great Gatsby

Quentin Francomano The Real Villain Quentin Francomano English 10, period 6 November 10, 2014 ​Daisy is the real villain because she is a liar and a gold digger. She is willing to do anything for money. She cheats on her husband. Despite her beauty and charm, Daisy is a selfish, shallow, and in fact, hurtful, woman.

In the novel The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby is a very wealthy man that hosts parties every weekend where everybody in town goes. George Wilson and his wife Myrtle Wilson argued every day non stop. Daisy Buchanan was a very beautiful woman who attracted everybody with her charisma but for 5 years she used to date Jay Gatsby. Now she’s with Tom Buchanan. Daisy Buchanan was cheating on Tom Buchanan with Jay Gatsby and Tom found out and crashed out.

In the 1920’s it was incredibly frowned upon to have an affair and in the book it is shown by the 2nd chapter that Tom Buchanan has a mistress. Young Nick Carraway begins a new life in New York and throughout the book he becomes a part of Jay Gatsby’s life and his antics to earn Daisy’s attention. F. Scott Fitzgerald does an amazing job of telling this story through love, death, and heartbreak. In this book we find the three ways that Daisy Buchanan used to kill Jay Gatsby. She toyed with his heart, she thought her actions caused no harm, she actually drove the car which killed Myrtle Wilson.

Daisy Buchanan has done many astonishing things and many atrocious things. Jay Gatsby, a very rich man, had an affair with Daisy. The affair that they had put Gatsby in is a very dangerous position. The novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ took place in the 1920’s in two very small towns right outside New York. This theme fits Daisy Buchanan because of the choices she has made with Jay Gatsby.

To begin with it is hard for Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby in all different ways to stay calm with the events going on in there life. Such as when Gatsby and talk to Daisy for the first time in five years. Gatsby says ¨nobody is coming to tea. It is too late.¨ Then Nick says do not be crazy it has been two to four minutes.(85)¨ Gatsby is freaking out in his head, because Daisy is a few minutes late.

This has led me to think that Daisy Buchanan is frankly not as as Jay Gatsby has developed of her during their time apart. In honesty, no one could be as supreme and faultless as Gatsby has invented Daisy to be. Gatsby breathes in the past and has a close aspect of Daisy's self. In fact, when Nick attempts to imply that Gatsby is unhealthily captivated with the past, Gatsby notes that it is unquestionably possible to We can see the actual intensity of Daisy's personality during the novel. The most memorable moment that exposes Daisy's true nature is when she lets Gatsby take the blame for speeding down and murdering Myrtle.

Gatsby gains his riches by inheriting his mentor, Dan Cody's, money after his death: an honest way. There is no need for him to go off in war, so instead of going over seas he works to organize his new position of a wealthy company. Gatsby works hard in his business to get higher. He become very wealthy from the inheritance and honest business. He then moves in a wealthy dream home that he had been eyeing for a while.

A common conflict in many different books and stories is the classic love triangle. This

In The Great Gatsby, written by Fitzgerald, Gatsby releases an ultimately superficial persona to the world due to his obsession with Daisy. Through the examination of Gatsby’s smile, one can see that his charm is merely a façade hiding his past. The subtle descriptions of Gatsby’s morals, in relation to the effect that Daisy has on him, demonstrates that Gatsby is not all that ‘great’. Through Gatsby’s attempt to achieve the love of the unattainable Daisy, he never realizes that Daisy being ‘nice’ masks the pain she causes him. Because Gatsby’s hopelessly romantic nature was caused by meeting Daisy, Gatsby was later portrayed as superficially charming and well-poised, thus suggesting that Daisy was the main reason for his questionable character.

This shows how badly Jay Gatsby wants his past with Daisy back and what he will do to try and get it back. Daisy, on the other hand, is uncommitted to making a choice and is willing to let the two men make it for

Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite from each other at the kitchen table of their immense mansion. The room was radiating with stress. They stared at each other for a good couple minutes. Until tom opened his mouth and started saying… TOM (with a distress voice): Would you mind telling me what happen in car when you were with that murderer. DAISY: A murderer?

Daisy shows throughout the story that she always thinks about her future and how to shape it into her image. During a gathering at Gatsby's mansion, we see how Daisy's life isn't as amazing as everyone pictures, this is shown when she questions her prospects and lack of purpose. As Daisy cries she ponders on what she and everyone else do now or the next day or even as far as thirty years. “What’ll we do with ourselves this afternoon?” cried Daisy, “and the day after that, and the next thirty years?”(Fitzgerald 68). As you read the quote Daisy sounds worried or anxious, Fitzgerald uses the text “cried Daisy” to display the feelings she has.

In the “Great Gatsby” movie soundtrack, Jay-Z, the soundtrack’s executive producer, compiled an excellent variety of modern day songs in this movie reflecting the 1920’s era. The songs chosen for this film would be most characterized as songs of love, romance, extravagance, grandeur, high society, mystery and many other qualities. These traits of song themes were chosen for this soundtrack as well as modern day songs twisted into a 1920’s melody. Jay-Z did an excellent job of doing so. Although all the songs were excellent and connected very well to the movie, there were two songs in the soundtrack that really caught my eye for various reasons. “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, a modern day song, was best chosen for the love scenes and can be a song that tells about Daisy’s perspective. Another piece of music which was composed in the time period of when this story is told is “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. Its power, grandeur, as well as elements of surprise fit very well in several scenes in the movie.

Gatsby's selfish desires are what had brought him to invite Nick to one of his not so exclusive parties; the reason for his extravagant parties in the first place were because he hoped Daisy would walk in one day. Daisy's memories of Gatsby are more abstract and clouded, while Gatsby has been so enthralled her he still recalls the exact day they parted.This displays how much more infatuated Gatsby is with Daisy. What Daisy was mostly fascinated with was money, which Gatsby had wanted to ensure she would never be without, because that is what set them apart in the first place. Not only does Jay want Daisy to leave her husband, he wants her to tell Tom that she never loved him. Although she tries to do so, she ultimately breaks down because it is not the truth. Nick pleads to Jay not to ask more of Daisy than she can give. Jay is so desperate that he will not accept anything less than a complete rewriting of their history, because nothing less than complete possession of Daisy will satisfy him. His love is utterly obsessive. Gatsby's inability to deal with reality sets him outside the norm and, eventually, his holding on to the dream leads to his

Gatsby 's fundamental craving in this novel is to win Daisy again from Tom and to have her everything to him. Before he even meets Daisy, he effectively needed to end up well off in any capacity he can and carry on with an alternate life
