Daisy has a very nice life ever since she was born. She was born into a rich family. Everything she needs can easily be fulfilled. She grows up as the most popular girl of all the young girls in Louisville. ‘“It was full of money that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbal’s song of it.
When his mother told him he should go visit her, he replied in a very ignorant manner, “I can handle my own life. I don’t need you telling me what to do” (Wilson 104). This showed a lot about Zachary’s personality. He could have given up some of his spare time to go see his sister but instead he was greedy about it and made a selfish, child-like decision. The son in the “Gospel of Luke” showed greed when he demanded that his father give him his inheritance and
To begin with there is Daisy, who lives a life of luxury in a huge estate with a very wealthy husband. Firstly Fitzgerald establishes Daisy through her tone of voice and the way she speaks, in the novel she is described with “a low, thrilling voice”. The reader can see this as an enticing and rich a voice who leads men in with everything she says. Also Fitzgerald portrays Daisy in nothing but white, white can be seen as the colour of purity and tranquillity, so she is seen as this angel, especially to Gatsby and it makes the reader realise why Gatsby fell in love with her in the first place. She is also portrayed by Fitzgerald as stuck up and that things are all about her.
Lastly I think he feels rejection and thus is discouraged from further pursuing Daisy at great expenditure. 3.) He has just finished humiliating Gatsby. Daisy didn’t live up to Jay’s expectations.\, Tom’s just exposed him as a “bootlegger” of sorts, and he had just finished making a fool of himself “denying everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made.” Tom is pretty confident Gatsby “realizes his presumptuous flirtation is over.” I think it further displays his arrogance. He seems satisfied with his victory.
Jonah Schulman Why did Daisy choose to stay with Tom instead of Gatsby? Daisy is madly in love with Gatsby while married to Tom at the same time. Daisy has to come to a conclusion and decide which man to choose. Daisy picks tom and the largest factor contributing to that decision is Daisy does not want people to look down upon her for leaving her husband for someone she was having an affair with. In Daisy’s opinion love is not as important as social status and Tom is in the upper-class and also a very respected man.
She seems like the doting wife, who loves taking care of her children and her husband. We also see she has a childish air about her, that most things do not concern her. The pattern between the three women is they all have been living off someone usually a father figure, and have never been independent for themselves. Every other conversation has her laughing off or shaking her hand like what ever trifle at the time does not mean anything. Because she has a carefree manner, she uses her feminism to attract things that she wants or to get out of trouble.
The plan sounds good at first, but when the slightest mistake happens the plan ends in devastation. I think the Friar acts foolishly because, firstly, he is the one who marries Romeo and Juliet. Since Romeo and Juliet are two children who were married at a young age, it made them unable to make considered decisions. Friar Lawrence's other foolish action is giving Juliet a potion that will put her into a death-like sleep "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off," He does send a message to Romeo, but it dosnt reach Romeo. The Friar helps Juliet fake her death and fool her parents.
Tom likes Daisy not for true love but because she’s makes a good trophy wife. Tom cheats on daisy with Myrtle and he doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings, he doesn’t strive for daisy’s love as he knows that his wealth will keep her. Tom’s money and the lifestyle it offers are what attracts daisy and she is nothing but an object to Tom. Whereas Gatsby longs for Daisy’s love and will do anything to achieve it, this is proved when Daisy kills Myrtle with his car Gatsby loves her so much that he takes the blame for her. Gatsby is a nostalgic person as he says to daisy ‘can’t repeat the past?'...
He forgot that pursuing the privilege of personal pleasure goes after he has accomplished his wife’s needs. Also, He forgot that sex is a gift from God and, remembering that, he shouldn’t use it in ways that hurt people. On the other hand, Lewis claimed that if we act like there is a “right” to happiness our society will be a complete disaster. “Everyone (except Mr. A.
The Great Gatsby The American Dream is wanted and pursued by everyone, but will it truly make a person happy? In the novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald critics the American Dream through Gatsby and the Buchenaus who are struggling to find happiness. Gatsby’s approach to how he attempted to achieve his fantasy reinstates how Fitzgerald believes that the American Dream will not lead to happiness and cause them to fail in the end. For Example, when at the hotel Gatsby and Tom are arguing over Daisy, Tom exclaims “He and that Wolfshien bought up a lot of side-street drug stories here in Chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter” (pg. 141).
