The Great Gatsby Daisy Quotes
DAISY: Daisy is not pure, she is manipulative and cheated on her husband while making Gatsby believe she loved him. Tom continued to limit Daisy throughout the book and Gatsby kept up his fantasy future with her. Daisy, as seen through her affair, was satisfied with both of the men she was receiving attention from. As a stage in a theater does, she put on a show with her swoony tone and her innocent remarks. She took center stage as both the curtain (Gatsby) and the spotlight (Tom) tried to keep her close. She was the reason the book took place, the stimulator in Gatsby’s hope for a better future. The stage is where the whole play presents itself and where people can believe in their own imagination. The same is true for Daisy because Gatsby

    The year 1925 was filled with entertainment, opulence, and change. In America, a pound of bread could be bought for nine cents, and riches were amassed by selling liquor illegally. Prohibition, the ban on the production and distribution of alcohol, was passed as part of the temperance movement in 1919. This made way for illegal sale of alcohol and speakeasies. People became increasingly more rebellious and were just looking for a good time. However, Germany was still reeling from the loss of WWI. This allowed many to attempt to gain support and rise to power. During 1925, two very different books were published. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald described the careless of Americans in the 1920s. While they had been concerned with enjoying themselves, Hitler spent time in jail writing his autobiography, Mein Kampf. Although Hitler's book…

    Tom, her husband, commits unworthy actions that a husband should not do, but is very wealthy. Instead of being with a man who she truly desires to be with, she would rather be with a man that had more money from the beginning. In an argumentative discussion, Daisy communicates to Gatsby that she “did love [Tom] once but [she] loves him too” (140). Since Daisy is torn between the concept of money and love, she does not know who she desires to be with. However, a physical interaction between Gatsby and Daisy made Gatsby’s “heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own”(117). This shows that Daisy does have an attraction towards Gatsby, but prefers the benefits she receives by being married to Tom. If she was pure and innocent as her white colored face, she would not use her husband for…

    In The Great Gatsby, many characters were portrayed, all with their own little quirks and characteristics. However, one of the most interesting characters is Tom.

    About half way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land.1 This is a valley of ashes2 — a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight.3 But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg.4 The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic — their irises are one yard high. They look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose.5 Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice in the borough of Queens, and then sank down himself into eternal blindness, or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.6…
