Daisy was an extremely arrogant person. Daisy showed her arrogance by the way she thought so highly of herself and that she was better than everybody else. In the movie Daisy tells Gatsby that “a rich girl can never be with a poor man.” When Daisy said this she was portraying that she couldn't risk being with him because it would make her look bad. Daisy said that knowing Gatsby loved her and that he would go find a way to be with her, he even changed his name, but she was too proud to realize that all she really needed was him not him to have money.
Throughout the narrative, Nick becomes disgusted by careless people which results in his desire to condemn others for their selfish actions and his choice to go back home. Ewing Klipspringer is a very careless character in The Great Gatsby. He benefited probably more than anyone from Gatsby, he was always at the parties and basically lived there. People even called him the boarder, as in a boarding house or hotel. Even though Klipspringer was living rent-free and benefiting from Gatsby, he never went to Gatsby’s funeral.
Gatsby loved Daisy, in his way. In chapter 6, after Gatsby’s party which Tom and Daisy attended, Jay reveals to Nick how he and Daisy fell in love. He explain that when he kissed her, he fell deeply in love with her. Weather one kiss can being about that kind of enduring love is questionable and certainly a strong argument can be made that what Jay loved was the idea of Daisy more than Daisy herself. She was, after all, beautiful and rich.

Daisy leads Gatsby on by letting him think she was gonna leave her husband while they run away together “... she realized at last what she was doing - and as though she had never, all along, intended doing anything at all” (132).
In addition to Tom Buchanan’s hatred for Gatsby, Tom can be labeled as responsible for Gatsby’s death as a result of Tom’s affair, his lie, and his carelessness. While Daisy did lead Gatsby on with a minor relationship, her decision arose from Tom’s unfaithful love for her as he had an affair with Myrtle Wilson. If Tom had shown Daisy undying love for her, there would not have been a reason for Daisy to have feelings for Gatsby once again.

He states, “She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me” (Fitzgerald 130). Although Gatsby expresses that Daisy was waiting for him, she actually grows tired of waiting, which shows her impatience towards him. This is impatience because instead of waiting for someone she claims to love, she decides to stop waiting and actually moves on with her life. In fact, she marries someone else shortly after Gatsby leaves to fight in World War I.

The Fall of Jay Gatsby “Daisy’s husband, among various physical accomplishments, had been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at New Haven- a national figure in a way, one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anticlimax”(Fitzgerald 7).
