Examples Of Love In The Great Gatsby

Love is a strong positive emotion of regard and affection. True love is hard to find and hard to keep, many people spend their lives in search for a person who makes their life worth living. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it show many characters who fell in love. For example, Jay Gatsby is obsessively in love with Daisy Buchanan and never decline on his attempts to attain her. Daisy Buchanan and Tom Buchanan are married they may have some kind of affection and loyalty for each other but, many people are sure that it's not actually love. Also, Tom Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson met each other on train and they fell in love. Jordan and Nick are happy enough to do some summer loving together, but they are not exactly in it love forever.

The first thought, of being right, is proven by Gatsby’s belief that Daisy’s marriage and love for Tom Buchanan is spurious. Gatsby believes without any doubts, that he loves Daisy in the truest possible way, and he wants his relationship with Daisy to be exactly the same as it was before when he left for the war. A flashback to the times he spent with Daisy, Nick says, “ His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.

Daisy knows that the expensive string of pearls that Tom gave her is about to become a chain. When she’s drunk, she wants to change her mind and marry the man she truly loves. In the cold and sober, she does what she was born to do: marry the rich guy. Tom Buchanan, “he nodded sagely. “ And what’s more, I love Daisy too. Once in awhile I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time” (Fitzgerald chapter 7). This show how it's totally fine for tom to have his little affairs, because he really loves Daisy but, it is not fine if Daisy spends time with Gatsby. Therefore, Daisy Buchanan and Tom Buchanan are married they may have some kind of affection and loyalty for each other but, many people are sure that it's not actually
