Examples Of Daisy In The Great Gatsby

I chose this quote because we get to know that Daisy is a shallow and a materialistic person. Daisy is born in a wealthy family and during World War I, she fell in love with Gatsby and promised to wait for him for marriage. Although Daisy and Gatsby loved each other, when they were young, but she still married Tom and not Gatsby. The reason for it was that Tom was rich and Gatsby was poor. She knew that Tom could give her better and wealthier lifestyle than Gatsby. It proves that Daisy is a shallow person.
In my opinion, she is not crying because she has never seen such beautiful shirts before instead it is because of Gatsby. She visits Gatsby’s mansion and is overwhelmed by seeing everything. Gatsby is rich and successful now and she wonders
whether marrying Tom was the right decision. I think that at that time, Daisy chose money over love and now she is regretting it. Since as, if she had married Gatsby, she would have ended up having both money and true love. She is crying because of her wrong decision that she has made in the past (about marrying Tom).
I think in the next episode of the book, Daisy will tell Tom about her past with Gatsby. Tom is an arrogant and short-tempered person. He is a rich person who cheats on his wife and I think he cannot bear/tolerate if someone cheats on him. So, in my opinion his reaction will be, either he will divorce Daisy or he will kill Daisy and maybe, Gatsby also.
