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.
Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanon have similar traits, and they also have different traits. In this essay I will explain to u the differences and similarity’s . I will also explain why daisy stayed with Tom instead of leaving him for Gatsby. One similarity between Gatsby and Tom is that they are both filthy rich and live in huge mansions, Another similarity between Tom and Gatsby is that they both have feelings for Daisy. Tom is married to Daisy but Gatsby wants to steel her back.
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 only reason Daisy stays is for Tom's money. The only thing that brought the two together was “their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together.”(Fitzgerald 180) Due to being wealthy, Daisy gains the rich title. Although she never had the same feelings she did for Tom that she had for Gatsby. The letter that Gatsby wrote made her “change' her mine.”(Fitzgerald 74) But due to her desire for money, Daisy changed her decision and marries Tom “Next day at five o'clock”(Fitzgerald 75) Money was the essential item that helped Daisy change her decision due to Gatsby not having what Tom had at the time. During one of Gatsby's parties, Daisy connects with Nick, and she makes a statement saying how “These things excite me”(Fitzgerald 105) explicitly stating how she loves events such as parties.
He great Gatsby ells the story of Jay Gatsby in his pursuit of his love, Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby goal is to win daisy over this eventually leading to tragedy. F Scott Fitzgerald uses settings to support a telling of a story such as the emphasis between the different social classes for example the difference between the east egg and the west egg. The west egg It represents new money, which is flashy, and over the top. Gatsby did not grow up with money like Daisy; he acquired it.
The green light at the end of the dock symbolizes Gatsby’s unreachable dreams of his love for Daisy, the future and wealth. Daisy is the physical embodiment of the American dream; on the outside she is beautiful, pure and flawless. On the inside she is amoral, empty and vain. Daisy is only concerned with social status and wealth “Her voice is full of money”. Her carelessness and lack of morals shines through towards the end of the novel when Nick rings to inform Daisy of Gatsby’s death, he discovers that she has “packed up and left”.
The Drive behind the success of both Gatsby and Fitzgerald is love. “her voice full of money”(Fitzgerald) Gatsby and Fitzgerald fell in love with upper class woman that they would never be good enough for; they understood that their good looks and charm might be good enough for a while but they needed money to be with the woman they loved. The first thing Fitzgerald did after coming into money and success was marry his love. After acclaiming much wealth Gatsby as well persuade his love. “They were careless people.
Love drives the heart of the story. Nicks love for his cousin and his new found friends. Gatsby’s love for Daisy, Toms love for Daisy as well as his woman on the side, Myrtle and of course Myrtle’s husbands love for her, which leads him to the tragic ending of the film. The Classism is clearly shown that Gatsby’s soul reason for desiring and acquiring wealth is solely to capture the woman of his dreams heart by means of showing he can continue the rich and lavish lifestyle she has grown used to while married to her rich polo player of a husband. Also shown by the poor car mechanic husband of Myrtle being happily married and in love with his woman while the rich Tom comes around to woo his wife away secretly on her desire for a more financially stable and available man in her life.
However he is still unhappy, not until Daisy leaves Tom. Gatsby’s striving for the American Dream has left him vulnerable to the corruption of the upper class and has decided upon his death. Daisy is Gatsby’s biggest dream, he believes that if he could win her back he will find his true happiness. However Daisy is not willing to leave her husband because of his status in the upper class society. Daisy as well as Jordan are described as innocent and pure throughout the first couple chapters of the novel – “ They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering…”.
From one side we can see Anthony and his wealth (his views about real feelings, about love) and from another side we see Richard and his feelings. Anthony thinks that money can do everything in our life, even buy love (“Money is successful every time. I don’t know anything you can’t buy with it. Tell me something that money can’t buy”). But Richard has opposite opinion (“There are some things that money can’t do,” said the young man rather sadly.
