Heaven or Hell

Daisy may have been getting cheated on, but she was as innocent as she seemed. The Great Gatsby had many twists and turns. Jay loved Daisy so much that he was blind to the signs that she didn’t 100% feel the same way about him. I know for a fact that she loved him once upon a time but that was many years ago. I wish Jay could have opened his eyes sooner and seen that Daisy is a terrible person who uses people then leaves when time gets rough. Who just played victim. Once things got too hard for Daisy she took Tom's side aka her husband and just left. We all knew that but Jay was just so blinded by the love he had for her. But let me introduce the characters of the Great Gatsby. Jay Gatsby was this mysterious man who always threw big big parties hoping that the love of “his” life would wander in. Daisy is Jay's old love interest who also happens to be Tom's wife. Tom is Daisy's cheating husband who has a mistress in NYC. The evidence from The Great Gatsby I can provide states, “ I called Daisy half an hour after we found him, called her instinctively and without hesitation. But she and Tom had gone away early afternoon, and taken baggage with them” (100). This line shows me that Daisy truly never …show more content…

It took Daisy no time to fall “in love” with Tom which made me think she didn't love Jay as much as she tried to say. She was gullible, and easy to manipulate. In my eyes she was a book of empty lies and dreams just leading Jay on this whole time. Daisy was only looking for a good time and not long. When Daisy starts crying with Jay and doesn't tell the truth on why she was crying. I think she was crying because she was realizing all the things she could've had but she knows that she can no longer have that. What Daisy and Jay had was no more and I believe that Daisy saw

There may be many despicable characters in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but Daisy Buchanan is a main character that causes feuds between not only Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan, Tom being her husband and Gatsby being the one she falls in love with, but Myrtle Wilson and George Wilson. Daisy is by far the most disappointing character in the book, because she leaves her child to be raised by nannies, which includes her having an affair, ends up killing someone without taking the blame, and she never shows up to Gatsby’s funeral. Daisy might have loved Tom at one point, but she really never wanted to marry him. When Gatsby comes into the picture, she instantly is overwhelmed with Gatsby’s devotions towards her.

Jay Gatsby's love for Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby is an incredibly complicated showing of an obsessive, yet desirable, type of love. Gatsby’s pursuit of Daisy was driven by his desire to relive what they had shared so many years ago, specifically before her marriage to Tom Buchanan. Every little thing Jay Gatsby did throughout his lifetime was a hopeful attempt to win back the woman of his dreams, to the point where he entirely loses himself. This can be seen on many different occasions, for instance, he had made sure to position his mansion not only across the water from her but additionally, designed the entire thing around what he believed she would most enjoy.

In the movie, Daisy’s innocent representation causes Tom to become a villain and for Gatsby to appear too pushy and demaning. While Tom certainly wasn’t the most righteous character, what with his cheating and influence on those around him, not every problem was his fault. Similarly with Gatsby, while he did have a big dream planned out and was convinced that his way was the only way, Daisy pretty much encouraged him to do all of it. She certainly never stopped him. However, since the movie represented Daisy as an innocent, a vapid unaware of all the evil around her, Tom and Gatsby’s wrong doings were emphasized and enlarged, while Daisy’s own mistakes were downplayed with Daisy herself looking as though she was the victim.

She chooses the extravagant lifestyle that Tom is capable of providing instead of patiently waiting for her true love.

This si when Jay loses his cool. He yells and pins Tom against the wall and makes himself seem like a fool. Described in Chapter 7 Gatsby “looked–and this is said in all contempt for the babbled slander of his garden–as if he had “killed a man.” This showed that Gatsby truly was a bad man and he was just hiding well throughout the whole story.
