Even though they have been together in the past, the fact that they are not together at the time of the story shows how their relationship must have failed and therefore love is seen as unobtainable. He seems to place Daisy so high on a pedestal that she is in a way already unreachable. He loves her so much, with so much passion, worked so hard to be up to her standards (bought the house, throws all these parties…). However, she has never turned up to any of his parties or shown any interest in a certain Gatsby showing that love is unobtainable. Jordan mentions to Nick that “he half expected her to wander into one of his parties but she never did, then he began asking people casually if they knew her”.
With people tormenting her about her cousins who were teen moms, or her father who made a fool of his drunken self in public, the poor girl felt like nothing more than dirt, and she wanted to be thought of as flawless and beautiful. Edith dreamed of being a celebrity, she wished to be a perfect girl, and to live in a perfect world "in which only married women had babies, and in which men and women stayed married forever." The shacks in which Eddie grew up were less than desirable, and supposedly thought of as contemptible, by people of a higher social class. When Edith moved to the boarding house, with set meal times, she was quite ashamed to think of how people living in the shacks didn't have meal times, they simply found any food they could and ate by themselves when they were hungry. The potato-chip plant that Eddie worked at
No man or woman that attend his weekly parties knows the truth about Mr. Gatsby. But the real truth surrounding Gatsby was that he was a romantic character, living in reality. He shows the reader how he came from being dirt poor to extremely rich by doing things that were illegal and frowned upon, yet he only did them for Daisy. All of the decisions that he had made, and the
The first estate included King Louis XVI and his clerics. These people never paid taxes and, in essence, did the least amount of work. In a time of famine and bad harvest, they squandered countless quantities of money on superfluous causes and selfish indulgences. They ate exceptionally well and were clothed and sheltered in the best of circumstances possible. Because of their lavish life, members of the first estate saw no need for change and were blind to any social problems.
All throughout Nora’s married life, she had made herself believe “a man can straighten out things so much better than a woman” (185), and always looked up to Torvald as a hero who is incredibly in love with her and “he wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to give his life for [her]” (194). Her illusions about her family are shattered in Act Three, through Torvald’s insensitive and egocentric reaction; “What a terrible awakening! For these last eight years you’ve been my joy and my pride- and now I find that you’re a liar, a hypocrite – even worse – a criminal! Oh, the unspeakable ugliness of it all! Ugh!” (220-221).
When Nick and Daisy are alone for the first time she states, “Well, I’ve had a very bad time…and I’m pretty cynical about everything” (21). Daisy speaks as if her life is completely miserable and she also doesn’t seem to believe that any of it is her fault. What a lie. From the very beginning of their [Tom and Daisy] marriage, Daisy knew Tom was unfaithful, “If he left the room for a minute she’d look around uneasily and say ‘Where’s Tom gone?’ and wear the most abstracted expression until she saw him coming in the door” (82). 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.
'', Malvolio is able to see that Toby is not as nice and harmless as he likes to seem. He is in fact selfish and disrespectful towards not only his cousin, as he is drunk in her house, but Malvolio too. ''Am I not of her
Daisy is his equally careless and selfish wife. Tom and Daisy do not understand or care about the consequences of their actions, and ultimately are the cause of the tragedy in the story. Tom's egoism is evident through his social attitudes. One example is his views on white supremacy. During a casual conversation between him, Nick (a friend and the narrator), Daisy and Jordan, he says, "…if we don't look out the white race will be-will be utterly submerged...It's up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things" (Fitzgerald 13).
Bassanio, on the other hand, is not responsible because he carelessly spends all of his money and then borrows more from others despite the fact that he knows he will never be able to return it. Modern-day audiences do not admire Bassanio’s idleness but instead scoff him for being unreliable. Bassanio admittedly has spent all of his money and has none left to spend: “Tis not unknown to you, Antonio, how much I have disabled mine estate, by something showing a more swelling port than my faint means would grant continuance” (I.i.122-125). In so many words, Bassanio is a loitering mooch and an unreliable friend who takes advantage of Antonio. He automatically expects Antonio to lend him money
