Great Gatsby: Gatsby and Daisy’s Relationship Introduction The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald displayed several cases of unhealthy relationships, but he mainly focuses on Jay Gatsby’s and Daisy Buchanan's affair. Within all of the romance, money and social status play a huge role, but its Gatsby’s and Daisy that varied the most. 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.
A novel that comments on society and the choices people make within it, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald makes a compelling story laced with deceit, hope, and the unattainable. Fitzgerald paints many colorful characters within this novel, but Daisy Buchanan seems to always be in the spotlight. Daisy searches for wealth and love, but finds them in two different men. Daisy Buchanan deceives the men in her life searching for her goal of having “everything” showing that this grail quest is doomed to fail.
“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
Leading directly up to his death, Gatsby sets the scene of his own murder. He decides again to remain in his mansion and goes for a swim in his pool while he waits, hoping beyond hope, for Daisy to call him. He asks his butler to remain by the phone and “[bring] it to him at the pool” if someone calls, to ensure he doesn’t miss a call from Daisy while he goes off alone to swim (Fitzgerald 124). The lack of concern for his safety, because of his continued hopes to be with Daisy, directly gives the murderer an opportunity to kill Gatsby without anyone there to hinder him. Through his continued false hope and self-illusionment, Gatsby causes his own death by refusing to flee New York for safety as well as giving the perfect opportunity for the murderer to kill him without opposition.
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.
a thin red circle in the [pool] water” (Fitzgerald 124). Due to the chauffeur hearing shots and there being a tinge of red in the water, it can be inferred that George Wilson shot Gatsby while he was swimming. Despite George Wilson killing Gatsby, Gatsby’s death is none other than his own fault, in part due to his stubbornness when thinking about Daisy. Nick, Gatsby, and Daisy met at Gatsby’s lavish mansion, where Daisy was completely overwhelmed by Gatsby’s luxurious lifestyle. Eventually, Nick thinks to himself that “There must have been moments when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams — not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion” (Fitzgerald 74).
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.
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.

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.
While I have been found myself drawn to basic research in this realm, basically I am very proud of my profession as a pediatrician and I have always loved cooperation with my patients. Satisfaction in my day-to-day work can be come from my humanistic spirit, which I fostered through a lot of experiences when I was a medical student.
