Jay Gatsby portrays a character that does not have a past and is looking for a future while Daisy was handed her future. Readers often conclude that Jay Gatsby was the least to blame for his and Daisy’s failed relationship, but it was neither Gatsby nor Daisy’s fault.
Attention people of West Egg! We have heard that the glamours and prosperous Jay Gatsby has been shot in his own mansion here in West Egg. Who is to blame for this death? Why would someone murder such a marvelous human being? First let's dive into The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and learn more about Jay Gatsby and his life.
“In the world people try to hide things from each other but one way or another they find out what they are hiding. ”(Kibin.com) F.Scott Fitzgerald had a hard time naming his novel “The Great Gatsby”. Truly a story about love, lies and deceit. The name is misfitting. Therefore, the title should have been “Love Lies”.
Daisy Buchanan is merely at fault for Gatsby 's death. Daisy’s lack of self reliance and ignorance prompt her to be easily led into making bad decisions, causing her to lash out and be held responsible for the death of Gatsby. Being a women of the east egg society Daisy Buchanan has always been apart of the idea of “old money”, signifying that her whole life she has had everything given to her and she doesn 't have to rely on herself for her own self making. These factors impact her in her later life when she is faced with the consequences of Myrtle 's death. Daisy being responsible for the death of Myrtle ultimately leaves her to make the careless decision of letting Gatsby take the blame, because Daisy 's ignorance and lack of self reliance
Even though Daisy allowed and encouraged Gatsby’s dreams and illusions, he himself was the direct cause of his own death because of his obsession with Daisy and his refusal to let her
After persistently obsessing over a girl of his past, once reunited with Daisy, Gatsby continues to believe that the only way he can win her over is with his vast collection of material goods. Nick who accompanies the couple on the tour of Gatsby’s mansion notices that Gatsby “hadn’t once ceased looking at Daisy, and [he] think[s that] he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes” (Fitzgerald 91). This passage proves that Gatsby believes that he can not win Daisy over on his own because he is so eager to see how she reacts to what he has. “Ceased” is defined is to come to an end; to say that Gatsby “hadn’t once ceased looking” means that he never tried to advert his eyes.

In the novel, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays women in an extremely negative light. The idea Fitzgerald gives off is that women are only good for their looks and their bodies and that they should just be a sex symbol rather than actually use their heads. He treats women like objects and the male characters in the novel use women, abuse women, and throw them aside. I believe that Daisy, Jordan and Myrtle are prime examples of women in The Great Gatsby being treated poorly.
Despite Daisy not necessarily living up to Gatsby’s dreams for her, Gatsby still is obsessed with her. His persistence with wanting to be with Daisy continues, and it eventually leads to Gatsby’s end. While at Gatsby’s house, Nick mentions to Gatsby that he is in imminent danger of being
Up until that last couple of chapters of The Great Gatsby I thought that Daisy should end up with Gatsby. Although it was creepy how Gatsby had bought a house right across from hers and kept newspaper clippings about her, he always seemed like a better option than Tom. At first Daisy was portrayed as a sad wife who deserved better, but the reality was much different. After Gatsby died, I expected Daisy to come back for his funeral, with or without Tom. Turns out, Daisy is just as careless as her husband.
In the novel The Great Gatsby by F.S. Fitzgerald, we find the narrator Nick Carraway going back in time to tell us about when he moved to New York City. Nick talks about the different cultures and ways of living based on what part of New York you live in, and we meet many different people who exemplify these cultures. One of the biggest moments of the entire book is when Gatsby is shot and killed by George Wilson. Although George killed Gatsby, it was Daisy Buchanan who set Gatsby up for failure. Not being able to let go of the past is something that Daisy was at fault for, even if she was being pressured by Gatsby.
This lead to him thinking everything was perfect and heading off to war, leaving Daisy behind. When he returned, he still had the same dream that he had once accomplished, but it had become unrealistic because Daisy was married. Gatsby’s dream began to cloud his reality and he didn’t give up on it. Despite it being unreachable, Gatsby’s dream continued to be very important to him, as he felt “that if he had searched harder, he might have found her” (152-153). He didn’t know how to win Daisy over, but that didn’t stop him from trying and searching.
The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is set in New York City and on Long Island in the early 1920s. If The Great Gatsby was interpreted by a Kazakh reader, the perspective on the characters of Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby would be different from that of an American reader due to cultural differences, which can influence the understanding of the novel. Daisy, Tom, and Gatsby are the main characters in the novel.
Daisy can't do that though. She tells him “I did love him once—but I loved you too.” (p. 134) This is a partial death of his dream. After the car wreck Gatsby went back to his mansion without Daisy.
In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Daisy is portrayed as a modern woman; she is sophisticated, careless and beautifully shallow. Daisy knows who she is, and what it takes for her to be able to keep the lifestyle she grew up in, and this adds to her carelessness and her feigned interest in life. In all, Daisy is a woman who will not sacrifice material desires or comfort for love or for others, and her character is politely cruel in this way. Daisy’s main strength, which buoyed her throughout her youth and when she was in Louisville, is her ability to know what was expected of her and feign cluelessness.
