One day I was invited to Tom and Daisy’s lunch. It was a good news for me obviously, I was desperate to see Daisy. I was so desperate, I wanted her to live with me now and I have decided to tell Tom that who Daisy love is not him but it is me. That day, I told everything to Tom and I just needed Daisy to conform what I was saying was true. “Daisy, that is all over now,” I said soberly. “It does not matter anymore. Just tell him the truth-that you never loved him-and it is all wiped out forever.” she looked at Tom aimlessly. “Why- how could I love him-possibly?” “You never loved him.” I had remind her that she does not love Tom because I was scared that Daisy might back out of this. “I never loved him,” she said, with perceptible …show more content…
She looked at me. “There, Jay,,” she said but her hand as she tried to light a cigarette and the burning match on the carpet. “Oh, you want too much!” she cried to me. “I love you now-isn’t that enough? I can’t help what’s past.” She began to sob helplessly. “I did love him once-but I loved you too.” I was so shocked I had to close my eyes and think for second and I open my eyes back up. What does she meant by loving me too? Does this mean she loved Tom at one point? All kinds of thought were colliding and bouncing around my head. “You loved me too?” I repeated. “Even that is a lie,” said Tom savagely. “She did not know you were alive. Why- there are things between Daisy and me that you will never know, things that neither of us can ever forget.” Every word physically bited into me. What Tom was saying was true. Daisy might have thought I died at the war, and it is true that I do not know what happened between Tom and Daisy. “I want to speak with Daisy alone,” Nick insisted. “She is all excited now-” “Even alone I can’t say I loved Tom,” She admitted in a pitiful voice. “It wouldn’t be true.” “Of course it wouldn't,” agreed Tom. She turned to her …show more content…
“You’re not going to take care of her any more.” As I was saying this I looked Daisy in the eyes. Was Daisy moved? I couldn’t tell by looking at her. I was afraid that Daisy was going to leave me once again. “I am not?” Tom opened his eye wide and laughed. He could afford to control himself now. “Why is that?” I could notice that Tom was laughing of frustration. He might of thought that Daisy leaving him did not make sense. “Daisy is leaving you.” I said in slightly raised voice. “Nonsense.” “I am, though,” she said with visible effort. “She’s not leaving me!” Tom’s words suddenly leaned down over Gatsby. “ Certainly not for a common swindler who’d have to steal the ring he put on her finger.” I was relieved, I didn’t mind what Tom was calling me. Did he call me common swindler? And I stole a ring from her? It was Tom Who cares, all that matters is that Daisy was coming with me. I didn’t have to stare at Daisy’s mansion from opposite side of the bay. I can just wake up in the morning and see her face. At this point nothing mattered, child from Daisy and Tom? Doesn’t matter, I was going to start from new with Daisy. We will be able to go back to life like when we were together during summer, when we loved each
Daisy’s face was filled with fear as she slowly stood up and walked around the room. “She was…she was killed?” Daisy questioned in a trembling voice.
...d the bangle he gave the girl as a token of love, even a wonderful marriage with the girl. I can’t deny that the girl loves Tom deeply. Only she took out some encouragement, and she would get a happy ending.
Tom is Daisy's wealthy husband. He is a shallow, egotistical, rude man and the living personification of the shallowness and carelessness of the wealthy He plays with cars and race horses, has many affairs, and treats Daisy like a meaningless object.
reveals the struggle daisy must encounter of being a married woman who longs for another man.
Tom doesn't worry about cheating on Daisy and she has no real guilt about her
From the outside, Daisy seems like the demure wife of a wealthy ex-football player, Tom Buchannan. The relationship the two share is far from a perfect marriage, but it is functional for upper-class society. Daisy often speaks nonsense, putting off the impression that she lacks intelligence, but there are moments when Daisy shows her true nature. The first moment occurs when Daisy shares
Tom functions under the illusion that Daisy not only loves him now, but has always loved him and been completely devoted to him. Daisy does admit that she once loved him, but he was not her first choice; Gatsby was. Tom is also under the illusion that Daisy will never leave him. He has an ongoing, almost public affair with Myrtle but still wants to be devoted to Daisy and demands her devotion to him. Tom feels as if he will never lose anything: his money, Daisy, or his social status.
Daisy is as fragile as a flower. Daisy Buchanan is known to be the beauty of Louisville, yet she is very weak and immature and doesn't think of the consequences of her actions. Daisy is a 19 year old young lady in the book, pressuring herself to get married. She believes it is the best thing for her, but does not think of how being marrying so young might affect her. According to Nick; "For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras... and all the time something within her was crying for a decision." (151) Daisy was ready to settle down and get married, but not just with any guy. She wanted the best, richest, good-looking, most powerful bachelor in town. What Daisy did not know was that marrying Tom Buchanan was the worst mistake she could make. Wild rumors that her husband was cheating on her, and about her marriage spread across Chicago, and Daisy knew that they were true. Her husband Tom was having an affair with this women named Myrtle Wilson, and showing h...

Though their lives are full of anything you could imagine, they are unhappy and seek to change, Tom drifts on "forever seeking a little wistfully for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game"(pg. 10) and reads "deep books with long words in them"(pg. 17) just so he has something to talk about. Even though Tom is married to Daisy he has an affair with Myrtle Wilson and has apartment with her in New York.. Daisy is an empty character, someone with hardly any convictions or desires.

Daisy lets Gatsby know that she too is in love with him but cant bring herself to tell Tom goodbye except when Gatsby forces her too.

...tically took blame for everything to spare Daisy from being accused of murder.”’Was Daisy driving?’ ‘Yes… but of course I’ll say I was” (143) His eternal love for Daisy made him fear nothing, he only feared solitude; his passion for that girl made him strong before any situation; his commitment made him persevere till the end: “’How long are you going to wait?’, ‘All night if necessary’” (144).
Daisy Buchanan, in reality, is unable to live up the illusory Daisy that Gatsby has invented in his fantasy. After Daisy and Tom Buchanan leave another one of Gatsby’s splendid parties, Fitzgerald gives the reader a glimpse into what Gatsby’s expectations are. Fitzgerald claims that “he wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: ‘I never loved you.’” (109). Here it is revealed that Gatsby’s one main desire is for Daisy to go willingly...
Throughout the novel, one of Tom 's biggest careless acts was when he cheated on Daisy. Tom is a cocky, confident man shown many times throughout the novel like when Nick arrived at his house and "Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch" (Fitzgerald 6). His stance showed his arrogance, and how highly he thought of himself because of his wealth. Tom was a man who often acted without thinking things through, like having an affair with Myrtle. Despite both Tom and Myrtle being married, they both had affairs. Tom doesn 't hide his affair from Nick and introduces him to his mistress Myrtle at Wilson 's garage. Tom doesn 't seem to care if anyone finds out because he feels as though nothing would change due to his wealth. While at Myrtle 's husbands garage, Tom tells Myrtle to meet him at the train station. They end up going to their apartment in New York City that they keep for their affair. While at the Morningside Height 's apartment Myrtle starts to talk about Tom 's wife Daisy, ""Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!" shouted Mrs. Wilson. "I 'll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai-"" (Fitzgerald 37). Tom didn 't like Myrtle overstepping her boundaries and to show

When Daisy exclaims to Nick that, “Tom as God knows where” (page 22) during her daughter’s birth and that she hopes that her daughter will “be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool” (page 22), it reveals the embodiment of an archetypal, subordinate role for women in the 1920’s. Daisy’s quote implies recognition of sexism and patriarchy, and an ensuring sense of herself surrendering to it. As Tom was not present during their daughter’s delivery, it is clear that Daisy realizes that he is having an affair. But rather than confront Tom about this, Daisy chooses to be submissive, not voice her opinion and hope that her daughter will be a fool. This suggests that Daisy is critically aware of the place that women hold in the particular historical context, where being oblivious and ignorant towards a spouse’s actions – being a “fool” – is better than having knowledge of their wrongdoings and feeling as if speaking up about it will not alter the situation. Although she appears superficial at times, the audience should not dismiss the potential wisdom of her character. Although Daisy is talking about her daughter, in many ways, this quotation is autobiographical about Daisy subsiding to cultural expectations regarding women and not confronting her husband about his adultery. However, it is
