It not only changes our view on Addie, but our view on the novel as a whole. Addie's voice is imparative to the reader's outlook and while we can sense it through the voices of others, her chapter best sums up her mind. So, what if Addie's chapter did not exsist? For one, we would never have comprehended her mind and the way it twists around things like how she feels about her children and husband. We would have all thought of her as still the same loving mother who watches her son, Cash, methodically build her coffin not because she is ready and wanting soon to be in it, but because he is her son and she loves to see him work.
Sheila is the only one which feels compassion from Eva’s death. The reader also sympathises with her because he is the only one which reveals against the power of rich classes. She is still a young woman and therefore she expects more to happen in his life, also as the play says she is “very pleased with life”.

(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.

She mentioned that she felt it was better to be a beautiful fool and get the man with all the wealth, then to be intelligent. She pretends to be a picture perfect wife even when she is completely unhappy with her life and ends up forgetting whom she really was before, therefore conforming to society. We could see that she has attributes that go beyond what everyone else sees.
