Gatsby said, “She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me,” (130). In 1917 it would have been true that once was rich Daisy would have married him, but when Tom bring to the surface the illegal measures Gatsby went to earned his money, Daisy finds him less attractive, because his income could be lost very quickly or
This shows that although Daisy loved him she chose her family over him even though she wasn’t very happy with the decision. For many people money is an important aspect of life. Daisy found money and social status very important in order to keep her somewhat ‘happy’ by getting anything she wanted. Tom Buchanan gave Daisy lots of material things in order to do this. For example of page 74, it quotes that Daisy receives ‘a string on pearls’ the day before her wedding to Tom but also on the same say she also get a letter from her former lover Gatsby, gets drunk after reading it and has a moment where she hesitates about marrying Tom but after she sobers up she ‘squeezed it up in a wet ball……And walked out of the room, the pearls around her neck and the incident was over’ as it also quotes on pages 74 and 75.
Gatsby tried to give Daisy the illusion that his house was a luxurious hotel as nick explains “It was a factual imitation of the Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivory, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and Garden.” (pg5) This great illusion that Gatsby created in the way of his house for Daisy leads us to the next illusion Daisy imagines for her daughter. Daisy knows that Tom is having an affair. She really doesn’t love Tom but stays in the marriage just because of the money. When she finds out they are having a girl Daisy was relieved. She was relieved because she doesn’t want her daughter to know that she is bored and unhappy.
He has amassed all of his wealth for one purpose: to impress Daisy Buchanan. He and Daisy had a romantic past before the war but while he was fighting for freedom in the army, she found a new lover. He began to think of ways to win her heart back and tried several things. He threw magnificent parties very often in the hopes that one day she would end up at one of them and he could have another chance with her. When he finally does win her heart back, he is almost disappointed in a way partly because the chase was over and partly because she had not lived up to the expectations he had created in his fantasies.
Anne's new owner, Jacob Bishopp was a respectable plantation owner of Northampton County, who required her services from William Kendall. During one of Bishopp's business affairs, Anne reunites with John Kendall, and they “rekindled their romance.” During a council meeting at the Webbs Inn, Anne and John had sex and conceived twins. After a short time of her pregnancy, Bishopp sold her indenture to Colonel William Waters. Chapter three is about William Waters was a sheriff of the peace, and also a plantation owner himself. Having discovered Anne's condition, he couldn't help but feel disturbed by this because of the fact that she is useless to him.
I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.
Its clear Gatsby and Daisy have some unfinished business no one likes to be the third wheel. When Gatsby specifically says show her around I think she must be a girl who loves money and he thinks he can win her back by showing her expensive things. 60WORDS Chapter VI: ‘’So he invented just the sort of jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent , and to this conception he was faithful to the end.’’ (pg.104) This explains speak much. Gatsby is a little liar but why does he feel he has to lie about his past life. He even lied about his real name like that’s childish.
The lavish parties he had to hide the emptiness in his life. He idolize Daisy liked he did the wealth. Gatsby never realize daisy was not impressed by his materialism Daisy was dealing with reality and Gatsby was dealing with turning his life into something he wanted it to be. And in the end Gatsby lost everything he was trying to gain at no matter what. The book is a revelation on how thing was in the roaring twenties and the attitude of rich people.

His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure and inviolate were slipping precipitately from his control.”(p.119) Tom knows that Daisy only married him for his money and although she has developed feelings for him, he fears that if he leaves her for Myrtle she will turn to Gatsby. Tom may in fact feel threaten by how Gatsby has such an extravagant house and parties. Tom has been rich all his life and it isn’t until Gatsby shows up does he realize that he might lose Daisy. Because of this Tom tells Myrtle that he and Daisy cannot get a divorce because she is a Christian. It is evident that he is not happy being married to Daisy because he has an affair with Myrtle.
