Before this line, Jordan remarks that she’s “never seen a girl so mad about her husband,” it’s more like Daisy was mad with worry that her husband was off with some other woman. That’s why she would look “uneasy” when he wasn’t around, because she knew of the possibility. Daisy, entirely aware of her husband’s infidelities does nothing to stop them yet she complains that she is unhappy. She has no right to do so seeing as she had the choice of not marring Tom but
He was probably used to fast girls that didn’t care for a relationship but just physical satisfaction. By the end of the story he is very depressed and doesn’t want to look for a job and tells his mother that he does not love her. He must have fell in love with someone who didn’t share the same feelings and there for doesn’t want to put forth the effort in caring for anyone
Mr. Gatsby and his obsession had him going crazy. He couldn’t get her of off his mind. He had Daisy thinking that nothing was going to work at all. But she also didn’t know how he felt for her and what he would do for her, for everything to be better. “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before, he said, nodding determinedly.” “She’ll see.” Daisy doesn’t want to believe him at all because he may be lying to
She’s paranoid in terms of believing that her lover has been having an affair with two women who she thinks are more beautiful than her, however in stanza 3, she says “Better sit thus and observe thy strange things than go where men wait me and dance at the King’s”; this gives an idea that she’s also a beautiful woman who is likewise given attention from other men however she decides to overlook that fact and cultivate a rather vindictive temperament by refusing to let the pain and embarrassment brought upon her by her current/former lover surpass her. As stated in the previous paragraph, she feels paranoid, embarrassed and pained and these strong feelings of the speaker are shown in most stanzas. In stanza 2, her feelings of paranoia and anxiety are expressed and emphasised when she says “They believe my tears flow while they laugh, laugh at me, at me fled to the drear empty church to pray God in for them! – I am here.” This is quite an interesting line as it is filled with all the sentiments mentioned earlier. The phrase “laugh, laugh at me, at me” contains repetitive language which suggests that she feels terribly humiliated and angry but we the readers do not know if ‘they’ are actually laughing at her or maybe it’s a notion
Sonja is not satisfied with the dispassionate marriage she is having with Leon as she describes it as merely “going through the motion”. She also suspects Leon of having extramarital affair and once Leon confesses his “one night stand that happened twice” their marriage breaks. However, because Leon hardly tries to communicate with his wife about his inner feelings and thoughts, it is this rare courage of honesty and his latter efforts that save his marriage. Honesty also acts as a tool that penetrates their respective emotional walls that are set private to each other. After
In the stories, A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter both women had different reactions to the similar situations of being rejected by their lover and losing a loved one. In Faulkner’s story, A Rose for Emily, the main character, Miss Emily, acted out irrationally when her lover, Homer, rejected her. All her life Emily was not able to have a chance with any suitors because her father always pushed them away. When she got older she began to loose her beauty and she felt she would never get married
Stella is willing to look past everything Stanley does because she loves him and that makes her the fool of the play. After finding out Stanley raped her sister she still chooses Stanley though she asks herself “what have I done to my sister?” Stella is so stuck on her life as it is that she’s not willing to accept that Stanley is not the man she once deceived herself he was and that internal conflict is what makes her a huge
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.
Infidelity today is the number one killer of marriages and relationships, and can be looked at as a symptom for non-working marriages. In the novel there was a lack of love and respect in the marriages, and there wasn’t anyone trying to fix their marriages either because they were around for their spouse’s money, or cheated because they were rich and felt could get away with it. There was one couple in particular that demonstrated these examples of infidelity in the novel. The couple was Daisy and Tom. Daisy stayed married to Tom because he was buying her happiness and his money, while deep down, she was really hurt and sad about the relationship.
Gatsby sees Daisy is the perfect woman and is very stubborn in that he is unable to realize that she lacks compassion and love. Gatsby's obsession also makes it impossible for him to realize that his relationship with Daisy is very unrealistic and that things cannot be the same as they were in the past. Gatsby ignores the present and Daisy's actions and still Caesar is the golden girl she was many years ago. For example, he is unable to see her recklessness and carelessness, which is displayed it several times throughout the book. One day when visiting Daisy he notes that she is not even love her own baby.
