Daisy's Transformation In The Great Gatsby

He is the title character, who grew up in poverty and became filthy rich by distributing alcohol illegally (bootlegging) and trading stolen securities. He’s wanted to be rich since he was a young boy. He worked as a janitor to pay for college but didn’t like the job, so he quit and dropped out of school. Before leaving to fight in the war, he met Daisy, and realized that she’s all about the money. In order to keep her around, he lied to her about his background and financial status. She promised to wait for him, but didn’t follow through on that promise because she went and married Tom Buchanan. Once Gatsby got ahold of that, he dedicated his life to getting her back after 5 years of not seeing one another. He remembered the types of things
she liked, so he bought a mansion on West Egg and threw extravagant parties every Saturday, hoping that one day she would attend and they’ll reconnect. Gatsby began spending time with Nick, his neighbor and Daisy’s cousin. During their ventures, Nick began to believe the rumors about him being involved in organized crime, and one day Gatsby came clean to him about his background and how he really became rich. Seems like Gatsby used Nick to get back with Daisy, but they really became friends in the process. Throughout the story, Daisy and Gatsby began spending time together and she used that time with him as a distraction from the pain that her husband’s infidelity has brought her. Gatsby believed that Daisy would leave Tom and come back to him for good, but she showed her true colors of being selfish and careless. She got Gatsby wrapped around her finger and because of his love for her, he was willing to do anything for her. Going to the extent of taking the blame for running over and killing Tom’s mistress Myrtle, even though Daisy was the one driving the car. He was very naïve when it came to Daisy and never gave up hope of getting her back. She was a huge tease to Jay, and as soon as she got what she wanted, cut all ties with him and went running back to her husband. In the end, Nick was the only true friend that Gatsby had. The woman that he was killed over didn’t even show up to his funeral, instead skipped town with Tom.
