When first reading The Great Gatsby it is assumed that Daisy had no clue who Gatsby is. It can be believed she has no clue who Gatsby is when she says “What Gatsby?” As the truth of Gatsby unravels the readers find out through Nick and Jordan that Gatsby had once known Daisy. Furthermore, Daisy and Gatsby had once been in love. When he left her that’s when she married Tom. Then when Gatsby comes back he wants her back and she had to choose.
Conflict:
From the time Gatsby was a young boy he always tried to better himself. He felt since he came from a lower income family that he had to make a name for himself in society. He never felt like he was suitable for society, but mainly Daisy. That’s why he worked hard to climb up the social ladder and let an abundance of people come into his house. The majority of the people didn’t even know who Gatsby was and the main reason he continued to have his parties was in hopes Daisy would make an appearance. That is why this is not only a case of man versus society, but man versus himself.
In this man versus himself situation Daisy has to choose between Gatsby and Tom. Though Daisy was the only one who loved Gatsby before the money, when he left her behind he realized soon after he still wanted and needed her.
