In the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the main character Nick, lived in West Egg, New York. He met this rich guy named Gatsby. From then on it was all about Gatsby trying to get Nick's cousin, Daisy's attention. In the book The Great Gatsby, Daisy was not the right woman for Gatsby.
One way that Daisy isn’t right for Gatsby was that she was never patient enough. Gatsby thought Daisy would wait for him after the war but she didn’t and married a different guy named Tom.

Pg 152 “He came back from France when Tom and Daisy were still on their wedding trip” (Fitzgerald). Being already married changed Gatsby's actions. He dedicated all his time for her while she was dedicating her time to her new husband
