The fact that Macbeth had committed treason by killing Duncan fed his paranoia and could only ensure his safety by more action. Macbeth was aware that Banquo could suspect him of committing this crime and could not afford to let him be which lead only to one conclusion, the death of him and his family. In this way Macbeth takes on a more tyrannical view towards those he believes might succeed or even kill him. Gatsby had the money that he needed to win daisy over with al of the lavish parties and having his mansion, and as he uses nick to follow daisy and reconnect with her, Gatsby comes to the realisation that daisy does have someone else and their connection is foreign to him.

Sadly, their relationship was cut short by Gatsby leaving for the war and their separation really affected both Daisy and Gatsby who haven’t recovered since. “...how her mother had found her packing her bag one winter night to go to New York and say goodbye to a soldier who was going overseas...

Although, reality and life is much tougher than our conceived imaginations and can be far more
His obsession with Daisy led him to believe that what she had with her husband was nothing and that her love for him never ceased, even after all the time had passed. “I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn 't believe it would come, and perhaps he no longer cared,” (Fitzgerald 84). In the end, it was Gatsby who suffered the consequences of having an unattainable dream and never accepting reality for what it was.

Both of the main characters live’s and choices surrounded these two women. Gatsby bought a house directly across from Daisy’s, and would throw these massive, elaborate parties just in hope she would come to one, and they would be reunited. Daisy never loved Gatsby to the extent that he loved her.
After separating, his deep infatuation with her just grew stronger. He didn’t mind the fact that she had moved on and had begun a new life with a new husband and child. Daisy becomes this idealized woman of his past. A quote from Nick Calloway proves he realized this, “we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” (Great Gatsby 141), describing the adamant pull the past with Daisy has on Gatsby. Other scholars came to the conclusion that Gatsby's obsession was really a pathological state of grieving that enslaves him.

Gatsby holds on the person Daisy once was and has the delusion that their relationship can be rekindled. One cannot love someone they have not spoken to in years.

There are various passages regarding the effects of characters struggling with illusion and reality. As Nick and Gatsby are driving, Gatsby tells Nick all about his worldly lifestyle and about all of his accomplishments, such as being educated at Oxford and receiving a war decoration from “every Allied government - even Montenegro, little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!” (Fitzgerald). Gatsby also describes how he “lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe — Paris, Venice, Rome — collecting jewels, chiefly rubies, hunting big game, painting a little” (Fitzgerald). Nick believes Gatsby to be lying; he thinks that all of his accomplishments and experiences sound too outrageous to be true.
In the story "The Great Gatsby" Nick has a favorable opinion of Jay Gatsby. In the first chapter of the book Nick states "When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction- Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. " The book gives many examples of Nick thinking of Gatsby as the "Great" such as Gatsby 's smile, what Gatsby was willing to do for Daisy, and what Gatsby did for himself.

It is true that Daisy had loved Gatsby once, but it was all in the past. After Gatsby left to go to war, Daisy fell in love with Tom Buchanan. The reasons why Daisy married Tom was part of her love for him and the other part is because she loves the social position she is in when she is with Tom. Gatsby failed not because he was killed, but because Daisy’s love for Tom can not be changed with material things. All of the main characters have ideas for the perfect life and none were able to achieve them.
Daisy can’t get over Gatsby and the amount of money he has and the love she has for him. Love is clearly shown through her strong feelings she shows to him. Gatsby and daisy have always had a thing for each other since they had laid eyes on each other, and everything has changed for them
Gatsby like the other men who loved Daisy, “[They] are all hoping to be the one to finally pin her down, to be the only fellow she ever loved.” ” (The Problem With The Great Gatsby’s Daisy Buchanan). Gatsby wasn’t the only one to love Daisy. What about the people she knew before him or her husband Tom, he had to love her. Right? Gatsby didn’t think so, “ ‘I don’t think she ever loved him’ Gatsby turned around…and looked at me… ‘Of course she might have loved him even for a minute when they were first married’…”
