    Examples Of Daisy Buchanan In The Great Gatsby

    If you knew that your husband was cheating on you, would you leave him? Do you believe it would be right for him to judge you for being with another man while he himself is with other women? For these reasons and a few more, it can be argued that Daisy Buchanan should leave her husband, Tom Buchanan, for Jay Gatsby. Tom Buchanan is racist, misogynistic, and full of himself. He believes it is perfectly reasonable for him to cheat on his wife, but if she has another man on the side, then she is at fault. Daisy’s love interest, Jay Gatsby, truly adores her and has sought after her for the past five years. He has planned out his every action around the hopes that he will get to meet Daisy again and their love will continue to flourish. Daisy would…

    Daisy Buchanan In The Great Gatsby

    Love is blind, is the perfect phrase to describe Jay Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy Buchanan in the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The novel, as a whole, is an intricate love story between them. Both characters live off of their romanticism and realism that has controlled every decision and motives they have made. Gatsby’s sole dream is to focus on trying to get what he had in the past with Daisy, as the narrator tries to pull Gatsby to reality and face the present, he retorts “Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!"(Pg. 116). As for Daisy, she is stuck between who she used to be and who she was. Certainly, there is no love between them, making their reality an illusion.…

    The Great Gatsby Daisy's Downfall

    Gatsby fought for the love of Daisy Buchanan, but his downfall made Daisy’s decision between a life in West Egg or East Egg much simpler. Daisy lived a ‘perfect’ life in East Egg with her husband Tom Buchanan, but everything was not as it seemed. On the day of Daisy’s rehearsal dinner, she was found drunk, crying, and grasping a letter. Daisy would not let go of the letter and “she took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up into a wet ball, and only let me[Jordan] leave it in the soap-dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow”(76). It can only be assumed that the letter was from her first love and as the letter fell apart her feelings for the author of the letter began to fade like snow under the sun.

    Daisy In The Great Gatsby

    Gatsby’s perception of the ideal woman is essentially embodied by Daisy, or at least his image of her. When Gatsby thinks of Daisy he is reminded of a supernatural being because his expectations of her have been set so high that they are unreachable. “His mind would never romp again like the mind of God” (110). This is saying that once he experienced the real Daisy and gotten a sense of her legitimate being, he will no longer be able to imagine her as he has been. His thoughts and hopes will be brought back to reality and he will no longer perceive her as a perfect creation, a “Godly” or spiritual being, but rather just a terrific, normal woman. These feelings for Daisy cause Gatsby to chase after her relentlessly.…

    Love, Lust and Obsession in the Great Gatsby

    <br>The character of Jay Gatsby was a wealthy business man, who the author developed as arrogant and tasteless. Gatsby's love interest, Daisy Buchanan, was a subdued socialite who was married to the dim witted Tom Buchanan. She is the perfect example of how women of her level of society were supposed to act in her day. The circumstances surrounding Gatsby and Daisy's relationship kept them eternally apart. For Daisy to have been with Gatsby would have been forbidden, due to the fact that she was married. That very concept of their love being forbidden, also made it all the more intense, for the idea of having a prohibited love, like William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, made it all the more desirable. Gatsby was remembering back five years to when Daisy was not married and they were together:…
