Why Did Daisy Renston Committed Suicide
However she was a fighter as she didn't give up straight away after all the bad things that had happened to her. The way people around her treated her was the reason that she committed suicide as they used and abused her and didn't help her in times of need. Gerald had known Daisy Renton and had used her for his own gain. "I became at once the most important person in her life” Gerald had used the power he had to exploit her sexually for his own pleasure and she had become his mistress. Gerald knew that she depended on him and still he had used her. Despite that Gerald had also taken care of her by giving her a place to stay and some money. She ended up caring for him more than he ever cared for her and at the end he had to break it of which he then …show more content…
"she didn't want me to go in” Eric didn't care about what Eva wanted, but just his selfish needs , this shows that their relationship was one-sided. They had slept with each other which lead to Eva becoming pregnant with his child. She didn't want to marry Eric because she knew that he didn't love her and was using her, she still kept on accepting his money until she found out it was stolen and then broke off the relationship. In the same way Curley couldn't protect his wife as he was to busy trying to show of his masculine side just to prove himself stronger than the men in the ranch. This means that Curley was more feminine than masculine which is the reason why he always wanted to fight just to prove that he was bigger than them and the reason he couldn’t control his wife. Also he was not physical and emotionally capable of taking care of his wife as he never gave her the attention she wanted which lead to her trying to get the attention for the ranch men. The way the men treated the two women lead to them failing them as they were both dependent on men which then affected them later on which played a part in their

    One of the women characters to who may show sympathy towards is Daisy. Daisy throughout the novel is oblivious to the fact that Tom, her husband, has an intimate relationship with the character Myrtle in a very public way. This is one of the ways in which we, the reader, sympathise towards Daisy, not only because of the fact that Tom is cheating on her with other characters but, the public way in which this affair is being carried out with everyone aware of Tom and Myrtles relations, other than Daisy yet saying very little to her about it.…

    Daisy Buchanan is a questionable character who, in ways, lets the reader down. Quickly, the author reveals Daisy’s character when he announces that Tom, Daisy’s husband, has “some woman in New York” (Fitzgerald 15). This news is startling because Daisy knows about the other woman. At this point, the reader can start to wonder what kind of person Daisy is for having knowledge of the affair, but doing absolutely nothing about it. At first the reader could see Daisy as this beautiful, elegant woman, but is then let down given the fact that Daisy is doing nothing about her husband’s affair.…

    In the end, Daisy craved respect from the same people she looked down on, and found that she could not identify with on any level. It is difficult to believe that if Daisy were a real person that she would have been happy with the final result of her life. As a character in the book, she is easy to misunderstand. Daisy acted the way she did in the story because she lacked role models to show her another way to act. Unfortunately, in the story, she became more of the epitome of an ignorant American who saw no value in the culture of European people, but sought to have them look up to her and respect her for being American…

    The only female character in the novel whose name has been given to readers as Curley’s Wife is a paradox within her own life and its circumstances, and where she ended up as a result. Throughout the novel she was upset at the way she was living because she claimed that she could have “ ‘...been in the movies, an[d] had nice clothes...’ ” however the unfortunate truth was that she was stuck living the life she was living (Steinbeck 89). This as well as the fact that readers constantly saw her as mean and toxic, but only in her death they saw her as she truly was; “... the meanness and the plannings and the discontent and the ache for attention were all gone…” and she looked very plain and beautiful (Steinbeck 92-93). She, much like many other characters in the novel, had a dream for herself. However the fact is that she unfortunately failed to see that dream become a reality. Steinbeck used the paradox in the way the men on the ranch saw her to show how unfairly treated she was. He showed this through her death, displayed as pure and beautiful, unlike the manipulative creature readers had come to know thanks to the perception of the men. It is unfortunate that she never lived long enough to pursue her dreams, instead stuck in a place where she was not happy and trapped in a failing marriage. The paradox is simple, she had dreams, and they were crushed. Not everybody, as saddening as it is, gets to live their ideal life. Most do, but some tend to stop…

    Daisy is a great example of how greed can obstruct your judgement and morality. The fact that in the story, Daisy says "Rich girls don't marry poor guys" and "You don't have enough money for me to marry you", tells us that she is all about monetary gain, even if it's at the cost of true love. Even when Gatsby, the man she said those things to, shows back up in her life with a new-found wealth that he obtained solely so he could obtain Daisy's love, she turns him down and stays married to a man stuck in the ways of the "old…

    There is not a direct quote from the novel to support this claim, but if one were to read the novel, they will notice that this claim is not only true, but also supports how Fitzgerald utilizes the theme of moral corruption. This demonstrates the theme because Daisy isn’t staying with Tom because she loves him, she is staying with him for the material possessions and the money. Since a normal moral compass would say to stay with your significant other because you love them, Daisy’s corrupt moral compass keeps her with Tom for her financial and material gains. All in all, Daisy turns out to be one of the main examples of the theme of moral corruption in this novel.…

    “Your wife doesn’t love you,’ said Gatsby. ‘She’s never loved you. She loves me.’ ‘You must be crazy!’ exclaimed Tom automatically. Gatsby sprang to his feet, vivid with excitement. “She never loved you, do you hear?’ he cried. “She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!” You could see how delusional Gatsby is when it comes to Daisy’s…

    Throughout the novel, The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald, we get to know the characters so well that we can anticipate their next move because they always do the same thing and the characters are very predictable. For starters, Daisy only cares about herself and her image. In the early 1900’s, Daisy and Jay were in a relationship. After Jay went to war, she didn't stick around for him to come back. She went out the next day and found a wealthy guy to take her in. Although she may seem like it, she is not capable of staying in a truly loving relationship. Take her own daughter for instance. When Daisy's daughter was born, Daisy cried when she found out the gender. “She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head and…
