Daisy's Death In The Great Gatsby

In F.Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. The characters each represent specific segments of 1920’s American society. Each character has consequences that shape the story.
Gatsby is the main character, he is willing to do anything to pursue his dream, Daisy. He is a wealthy, ambitious man and comes from “West Egg”. Daisy is a young woman, she is from “East Egg” and is described as beautiful and charming but also careless. She is married to a very wealthy man, Tom Buchanan, he is described as arrogant, aggressive and masculine. He is also described as careless and comes from “East Egg”. Tom and Daisy’s carelessness shows a lot when it comes to Gatsby’s death. They didn’t even come for his funeral.
Even though George pulled the trigger of the gun that killed Gatsby, Tom, Daisy and Gatsby himself committed deeds that resulted in Gatsby’s death.
Tom Buchanan plays a big part in Gatsby’s death. One reason

He is the one making the poor decisions that leads to it, and because he can’t accept reality. One example of a bad decision he makes is holding big parties only to attract one person, Daisy. It is bad because they start gossiping about him. “Somebody told me that they thought he killed a man once… I don’t think it is so much THAT” more that he was a German spy during the war”. (Fitzgerald, page 35) This shows that people at the party are talking bad about him. He also can’t accept reality. The fact that in reality he is “New Money” but pretends that he Is “old money” and won’t accept it because Daisy is “old money” and he wants her. “You can’t repeat the past.” “Can’t repeat the past?” “Why of course you can!” (Fitzgerald, page 85). Gatsby’s obsession with the past is about control over his own life, over Daisy as much as it is about love. His longing for control could be a larger symptom of being born into a poor/working class family in America, without much control over the directions of his own
