Gatsby’s wealth increases his chance in “accidentally” meeting Daisy again, “he half expected her to wander into one of his parties, some night” (Fitzgerald 79).

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.

I believe that Daisy, Jordan and Myrtle are prime examples of women in The Great Gatsby being treated poorly.

Reading the question made me change my mind about Gatsby being a stalker Gatsby wants to make plans with Daisy because he miss her not because he wants to stalk her he’s in love with Daisy and wants things to be back how it use to be so he decide to make plans for her probably not knowing that Daisy has a whole family , but I dont think thats going to stop him from wanting to do things with her.

Daisy’s Self Perception Vs. Others In the movie “The Great Gatsby” the character Daisy Buchanan displays a complex connection between self perception and how she is perceived by others. Throughout the movie, viewers can see how Daisy’s life is influenced by societal pressures vs. personal wishes, Daisy’s dismissive marriage, her relationship with Gatsby, whether or not Daisy’s intentions can be seen as selfish, and how this impacts Daisy’s perception of herself vs. how she is ultimately perceived by the viewer.

Daisy is very selfish she thinks Gatsby asks too much of her when all he wants is her love.
