(www.Cliffnotes.com) Although Fitzgerald makes her despite being beautiful and charming, Daisy’s very selfish, shallow and a mean person. Moreover, Daisy truthfully married tom for his money and didn’t care what he did, unless and so long as he could continue to buy her anything she wanted. Daisy also would hope that her child was a girl, so that she’d be like her and survived the way she did “And I hope she’ll be a fool-that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”. (Pg. 17 Scott Fitzgerald ;) Daisy was implying that the best way a female was to survive in this world was to be attractive and not do anything with her life, and sit back and let money buy her happiness.
He came upon a lady and her maiden, who embody the traditional motif of healing women. Through their care, he fall in love with the gentle lady, and suffer because he could not be with her. Equitan’s symptoms of lovesickness were brought upon his desire to seek out the wife of his vassal. He knew the wrong of coveting his seneschal’s wife, but he felt no wrong when his logic brought him to believe that he could share the woman. Equitan suffered from lovesickness when he fell in love at first sight of the lady, and “through the lady Love caught him unawares.” 2.
Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.
In order to obtain this wealth and luxury they must stay together and help each other because without one both character’s goals would be unobtainable. George and Lenny’s relationship is important to the story because their friendship that they develop through the book explains the internal conflict that Lenny goes through to realize that he must kill George. This complicated relationship between friends, shows that anyone can become paired to another person no matter if that’s your intent or not. An even odder relationship is the one between Chillingworth and Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter. As soon as they meet and get married they are instantly stuck together for life even if they are not married.
d. Daisy is a wife and mother. She is a woman who is so highly set on the goals of having the best of everything, and being above everyone else. She is the love of Gatsby’s life whom he wishes she would drop it all and come back to him, but this is not the case. Daisy is to be a heart breaker to many. Daisy is swept up in her own little fantasy world in some situations.
As the Beatles would say, money cannot buy love. Love cannot be for sale and thus, love is a priceless emotion. The marriage between Daisy and Tom Buchannan in Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, gives evidence to this fact. Daisy decided to marry Tom due to society views, lifestyle factors, and money stability. Although she loved Gatsby, the brutal reality flashed upon her eyes and forced her to stay together with Tom until the very end of the novel and possibly, beyond.
‘Maybe you better go along to your own house now. We don’t want no trouble’ this shows that the workers were cautious of being caught with Curley’s wife and sent her on her way to avoid conflict. Curley treasures his wife and if she were caught in any trouble, even if it was her fault, she’d be seen as innocent. Finally, Steinbeck also presents women as attractive and confident. The quotes ‘If he ain’t, I better look someplace else, she said playfully’ and ‘Hi, Good-lookin’.’ These show all the workers think Curley’s wife is attractive and she knows this, so she’s being confident with them.
Janie’s Undying Quest for Love All human hearts, at their core, desire love. What this love comes to mean can differ from person to person. How one is brought up can greatly influence their view on what true love is and, for some, leave them without happiness. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finds true love only when she lets go of what society is telling her to do. Although her Grandmother taught her that love is settling with a wealthy man, Janie does not give up on her vision of love.
“The inexhaustible charm that rose and fell”(120) in Daisy's voice captured everyone she met, and held them close to her heart. She had thought she loved Gatsby with all her heart, but she knew things had to change. After the murder of Myrtle, she had to choose between the man she loved, and the man she would come to love. She had to forget about true love and think about her child's need for her father. Tom said he loved Daisy, but “his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart.”(20).
However the reality that daisy has loved more than just Gatsby crushed him since he had the illusion that she only ever loved him. It is clear that even if she loves Gatsby due to Tom’s social statues and old money daisy will not be leaving him. Although Gatsby considers daisy to be the most perfect women he has ever met, it becomes clear toward the end of the novel that daisy is a selfish woman who only cares about herself. This is shown in chapter seven when daisy hits myrtle with Gatsby’s car and does not stop or slow down the car. That night Gatsby, still in love with daisy, waits for her “all night if necessary” (Fitzgerald, pg.
