Scott Fitzgerald’s Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby which has recently been adapted into a movie from Baz Lurrhman and I will discuss the immorality in the character Daisy Buchanan when she hit Myrtle Wilson her husbands mistress with Jay Gatsby’s car kill her instantly and knowingly drove off without stopping. Then allowing Gatsby to take the blame for it and the subsequently an unexpected punishment.

Daisy is beautiful and young woman born into upper classed Louisville Kentucky in what was known as ‘old money’ meaning that she had been born into wealth unlike the ‘new money’ type like Gatsby who was a bootlegger during the prohibition era.
Daisy is described to be innocent and child like. Her innocence is portrayed in the book as always being dressed in white, which symbolises purity.

“I’d like to put you in one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around” – Daisy Buchanan, The Great Gatsby. The way she portrays herself her is not very lustful even if she is in love with the person the image she gives off is very naïve.
