Great Gatsby: Compare and Contrast
Compare/Contrast
If Daisy has to pick between two men with whom to spend the rest her of life, she should pick Gatsby. He may not come from as wealthy of background of Daisy, but he does truly love her. Gatsby is from North Dakota and he was not born rich. Also his real name is James Gatz. He did not like his family, he was convinced he was given to the wrong family. By his late teens Gatsby had left home and this is when he met Dan Cody. The two became good friends after Gatsby warned Dan about an incoming storm while he was on the water in his yacht. Dan Cody became somewhat of a mentor to Gatsby, taught him how to be rich. Gatsby stayed with him until his death five years later. Gatsby then joins the army; this is when he meets Daisy and two fall in love. Their relationship was cut short when Gatsby had to go off to war. After not hearing from him for awhile Daisy believes he is dead, but this does not change her feelings for him. A flaw of Gatsby is he is a bit untrustworthy. He lead Daisy to believe he was wealthier than he was and tends to lie about his past. Gatsby would do absolutely anything for Daisy, and he is determined to be with her. She is his number one priority is what it seems like. He is a very determined person, he’s done so much just to get what he wants. Gatsby is now extremely wealthy. This was all part of a plan to win Daisy back. He truly loves Daisy and has concern for her happiness. Though they were apart Gatsby was faithful to her in a way.
Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan comes from old money. His family is one of the richest at this time. As Gatsby is new money and does not come from a wealthy background.Tom is originally from Chicago. He used to play football in college and reached his peak at twenty-one. Tom was only married to Daisy for three months before he had an affair. In my opinion, Tom is not a very likeable person. He is extremely conceited, and loves to show off his wealth in any way possible. Tom is also very racist
