Daisy in Great Gatsby

Daisy, the girl Gatsby persuaded all his life, was not worthful. She was the representative of money worshipers; even her voice “is full of money”. Maybe she loved Gatsby once, but her love was not real, not persistent.

On the one hand, Daisy who represented the high class was materialism-oriented, hypocritical, indifferent, and selfish; and on the other hand, the lower class which was represented by Gatsby was stubbornness, simple-minded and a little fool.
