How Does Frederick Douglass Present Love In The Great Gatsby

Through marriages, relationships, and friendships the author questions rather love can be unstable or is it the way the characters experience love and desire problematic? I choose to write on this because the way that Frederick Douglass portrays them is a phenomenal complex that will make you reconsider true love. What drives The Great Gatsby is, Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship, or more specifically, the tragic love they shared which is a bond that drives the novel’s plot.

Five years when the novel had not been written, Jay Gatsby was taught by Dan Cody how to be wealthy and he was placed in Louisville before being shipped off to WWI. He met Daisy in Louisville, She was beautiful and young and was someone who took you for your social class.

In the example that Jordan says "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay."

The difficulty between the relationships, because we know way more about Gatsby's past, and his life than Daisy. Because of this, it’s hard to judge Daisy for not picking Gatsby over Tom considering he was an actual, physical person, she could never have fulfilled Gatsby’s visions of her and all he wanted her to be. You could even tie the pursuit of Daisy and Gatsby as the American Dream because although the dream was alluring as Daisy being elusive .

Tom and Daisy were married and both came from incredibly wealthy families and live on the east egg where they are marked as “old money class”. Daisy appeared quite in love when they first got married, but because of Tom’s multiple affairs, along with when he cheated on her soon after their honeymoon, according to Jordan: “It was touching to see them together—it made you laugh in a hushed, fascinated way” this shows an example that at one time they were happy and in love and something must have gone
