She is nothing more than her money to Gatsby, because it is for her money that Gatsby is in ‘love’ with her. | “It faced- or seemed to face- the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favour.”Ch3 (pg32) | This echoes the quote about Daisy in Ch 1 pg 8 that stated that she had a way of “promising there was no one else in the world she so much wanted to see” than the person she looked at. This parallel indicates Gatsby and Daisy’s abilities to manipulate and shape the people around them into being enchanted by them. This is also evidence for Nick being in admiration (read as gay for) of Gatsby, as he dislikes this trait in Daisy, but finds it positively “gorgeous” in Gatsby.

When going with Winterbourne to Château de Chillon, she accepts the idea of a chaperon; however, nowhere in the rest of the novella does she actually appear with a chaperon.

Although both women are powerful beings, one is greater than the other due to the differences between them on how they use their power: one is an over extravagant sex machine, and the other has unworldly beauty and grace.
