In life there are some people who are very selfish who can cause problems to happen to others because they only think of themselves. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby Daisy Buchanan is a very selfish character who causes many problems to others in the story. She causes the death of Myrtle Wilson and Jay Gatsby with her selfishness, is very self-centered in her marriage, and she is also selfish in her affair with Gatsby. Daisy Buchanan is a self-absorbed, vacuous socialite whose decisions lead to the destruction of both Jay Gatsby and Myrtle Wilson.

What are the most five important things that have happened to your character in his or her life so far?

Despite his reluctance, he is eventually forced to overcome his defeatist attitude and accept the sense of responsibility that Tante Lou and Miss Emma are trying to instill in him.

For instance, we have the rich yet arrogant Tom; Tom had an affair until Daisy began to do the same thing with Gatsby. Daisy tried to look oblivious about the fact that Tom was cheating on her; she did not care how much she had to endure because Tom provided her a wealthy and luxurious lifestyle. When she reencountered Gatsby, they started to see each other more frequently. Gatsby was madly in love with her, he did everything in his reach for her to be by his side. Even though Gatsby did the impossible to win her back, she decided to stay with Tom. Tom and Daisy are best described as being self-centered, however while Tom displays this trait by aggression, Daisy hides it with her angelic and dreamy appearance. Tom came from a respected family and his money was inherited – ‘old money’ as described in the novel – but most importantly, Tom was at the top of the ‘food chain’. On the other hand, although Gatsby was rich, his money was considered to be ‘new money’. Daisy stayed with Tom because of his socioeconomic status and because Gatsby was asking her too much. Furthermore, the fact that she plotted with Tom against Gatsby just to save herself shows how self-centered and egocentric she

While visiting the Buchanans, and Daisy’s best friend Jordan Baker, Fitzgerald chooses to reveal Nick’s vivid descriptions of the three, though strongly focusing on Daisy and Jordan. Showcasing the tenacious feelings and developing relationship Nick has with Daisy, we can observe and take note of the love he possesses for her. From his depiction of her “glowing voice” accompanied by “thrilling words” to her “lovely…[face] with bright things in it”, it is clear to see the emotional connection Nick yields (Fitzgerald ???). Waxing and waning throughout the novel, the relationship begins to alter alongside Nick’s depictions of Daisy, transitioning from her previously mentioned “glowing and singing voice” in the beginning of the novel, to the new voice of greed he becomes made aware of (Fitzgerald ???). “I’d never understood before. It [her voice] was full of money” Nick explains, “that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it” (Fitzgerald ???). It becomes evident to all that the love-struck Carraway has hidden from readers Daisy’s true personality, and does not share aspects of her true self until well over half-way through the novel once he becomes aware of them himself. Thomas E. Boyle claims this exact notion: “How else can we account for

Both Dade and Julian where fixated on proving themselves right and defending their beliefs about

In The Great Gatsby, the characters become deluded about themselves and others through relationships or wealth. Fitzgerald uses this disillusionment to trace their changes through their interactions with one another and their journey to where they are at the end of the novel: Nick, whose mind has been widened, Daisy, who returns to her carelessness and wealth, and Gatsby, a dead man, but ‘alright in the end’. However, Nick already believed himself to be open-minded and wise, Gatsby never had the romantic success that would make him alright, and Daisy believed herself to be a victim of Tom’s and societies cruelties. Their journeys in the book boil down to one statement, that their self-conceptions are all flawed.

The tragedy, “Hamlet” written by William Shakespeare, who formulated a play about the young Prince of Denmark, Hamlet, who faces the emotions, depression, anger, and uncertainty due to the murder of his father, King Hamlet. The man who conducted this unlawful action was Hamlet's uncle, step-father and the new King of Denmark, Claudius. Hamlet desires to seek revenge upon Claudius for his father's murder and the incestuous relationship between him (Claudius) and Gertrude (Hamlet's mother). In prince's first soliloquy, he contemplates on committing suicide because he faces difficulty in mourning of the death of his father whom he greatly adored. Moments later, he expressed his emotions on his mother's decision to marry her dead

In many instances, Gatsby showed signs of selflessness. But, if the reader were to dig deeper into the roots of the story, they will be able to see that under the kind acts and good deeds, Gatsby’s intentions were always selfish. After the car scene, Tom, Jordan, Daisy and Nick returned to Daisy and Tom’s house. As Gatsby waits outside of the home, Nick, unknowingly, asks Gatsby whether or not Daisy was driving. Gatsby replies saying, “Yes, but of course I’ll say I was” (Fitzgerald 143). When Gatsby took Daisy’s place in the murder of Myrtle, although seeming kind-hearted, his only reason for this was to earn Daisy’s love and to impress her. Gatsby has somewhat put up an image of himself to be the pure and almighty man that deserves Daisy more. Meyer Wolfshiem, Gatsby’s business partner, mentions to Nick of Gatsby’s chivalrous actions towards women saying, “Yeah, Gatsby’s very careful about women. He would never so much look at a friend’s wife” (Fitzgerald 72). Although Meyer Wolfshiem’s comment on Gatsby about him being a gentleman, and how he would never look at another man’s wife, Gatsby proceeds to exceed all expectations and have an affair with Tom’s wife, Daisy Buchanan. Yes, some might say his only reason for doing so was out of true love and destiny but, in either case, it was morally wrong. In every action that Gatsby commits for Daisy, his selfishness secretly hides beneath it, shading itself from light so no one will approach the real man that lurks behind the curtains of self pride.

In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, characters are depicted as corrupt human beings influenced by their own personal agendas. With an indistinguishable line between right and wrong, they remain unaware of the consequences that follow their actions. Daisy Buchanan is portrayed as the “golden girl” of her time. She is the woman every man wants to call their own, although they only focus on her superficial features rather than personal qualities. Throughout the novel, her true self begins to unfold, displaying how she misleads others to protect her social stature and reputation. Daisy’s submissive nature continuously hurts the people she cares about by allowing her to engage in dishonest activities.

In the TV show of Riverdale, the main character, Archie Andrews, is much like Socrates because both of their decisions are based on whether to save themselves or to benefit society. The basis of this is that Archie has to decide whether to do something that goes against his best interest, (due to the societal torment both him and Miss Grundy will receive if their relationship is discovered) but will help society as a whole (by finding out information to help with the murder), or do the opposite and help himself, but not help society. This connects to Plato’s argument in the Crito as Socrates has to make a similar decision on whether to save himself, and hurt society, or save society and let himself die.

One aspect that makes William Shakespeare’s Hamlet alluring is how he broke the limiting mold of the one-dimensional character by representing characters in all of their human complexity. Hamlet, for example, is a compelling character because he is complicated. As Hamlet himself observes early in the play in, “Tis not alone my inky cloak/nor customary suits of solemn black, /Nor…forced breath/No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, /Nor the dejected ‘havior of the visage…/with all forms, moods, and shapes of grief, /That can denote me truly” (1.2.80-86). Hamlet insists that he is an individual with many psychological and philosophical facets, though he
