Essay for Murder Most Unladylike
Characters: Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong
Daisy and Hazel has a fragile relationship before they realised that Miss Hopkins could not be a murderer because Daisy did not understand Hazel’s intention, thus causing their friendship to fall apart. This can be seen from where it all started when Hazel started accusing Miss Hopkins of the possibility of murdering Miss Bell. Hazel said that Miss Hopkins could have killed Miss Bell as “she might have been afraid The One would jilt her for Miss Bell.” The word jilt denotes one abandoning one’s love, suggesting that The One could have cruelly ditched Miss Hopkins causing Miss Hopkins to kill Miss Bell for love. Daisy have always been obsessed with Miss Hopkins and hearing that her favourite teacher would kill someone for such mild reason like love, she could not help but feel upset with Hazel’s deduction. This caused Daisy to become biased. Thus, she said multiple unfair reasons as …show more content…

Daisy realised her mistake and also apologised. This can be seen from the way Hazel “seized” Daisy’s arm, denoting Hazel gripping Daisy’s arm, connoting that Hazel did not want to lose Daisy as a friend anymore. Hazel realised that she needs to have Daisy back as a friend to solve the case together. Daisy also apologised, saying “I was wrong, and so it should be me apologising”. Daisy was an arrogant person and apologising required her to let go of her self-esteem. Daisy did not accept Hazel’s apology as she realised that she was at fault and the friendship between them caused her to accept the reality that she was at fault and apologise instead. The relationship between Hazel and Daisy became better and Daisy started listening to Hazel and her suggestions. Thus, I can infer that Hazel and Daisy’s relationship was brought inn closer after the realisation of their

  • Daisy Buchanan: Admirable or Despicable?

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    As you read on, Daisy’s true character is slowly revealed, and you come to achieve that she is a very careless person. She seems to never care about the consequences of her actions, and this is proven when she is driving home from the city, and hits Myrtle with Gatsby’s car. Unlike most other people, she didn’t even hesitate and just drove home, without a care in the world about what she had done. One of Nick Caraway’s final assessments of Daisy after the accident is that she is very careless. He even says; “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back to their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made”. (Fitzgerald 187) This quote is proof that people i...

    In Pearl Tull’s old age, she starts to lose her sight until she is completely unable to see. Pearl may be the only one within Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant who has gone literally blind, but many of the characters are just as blind emotionally. Throughout Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, many characters are too absorbed in their own problems and self-pity to notice the problems of the people around them. Almost all of the characters don’t realize how much their actions may have affected someone else, or are oblivious to the fact they did anything at all. When taking a closer look at the story, it could be said that Pearl Tull is the reason behind all of her family’s problems. Pearl is blind not only literally—in her old age—but metaphorically

    ...y. When Daisy states that he is a brute, he expresses his dissatisfaction, however he remains calm. This illustrates that her perception is blurred since she does not recognize the fact that Tom has very little respect for her. Her trust for Tom is at a highly excessive level, ultimately resulting in the cost of her life. This occurs as “she (rushes) out (onto the road), into the dusk waving her hands and shouting” at the car in which she believes Tom to be driving. (7. 5-6. 137) As she sees the approaching vehicle she anticipates that it will stop for her since Tom is driving it.

    Myrtle is, as Daisy, impressed with Tom's wealth and appearance, but, like Jay Gatsby, is stuck in a fantastic, idealized perception of her object of affection. Even when abused and trampled over by Tom, Myrtle continues to adore him, just as Gatsby continues to dote upon Daisy after being obviously rejected by her. As far as ethical considerations, Gatsby tends to prove himself a sincere and caring person, while Daisy and Tom just destroy the lives of two people and then leave town to escape the consequences of their actions.

    She is a child with high self-worth which has been developed by receiving affection, love and interaction from both mum and step-dad. As Rodgers (1959) theory explains self- worth is the result of unconditional positive reward.

She is not a child who seeks approval, or who will follow the desired behavioural wishes of her parents- she makes her own decisions (McLeod, 2014).

  • Marxist Lens The Great Gatsby

    1158 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the confrontation between Gatsby and Tom Buchanan about Daisy, she is talked about like she is a possession to be won over. During the argument Nick “glances at Daisy who was staring terrified between Gatsby and her husband” (Fitzgerald, page 143). Gatsby and Buchanan tell Daisy what to say instead of allowing her to tell her own truths, and if she does start to speak up for herself she is quickly quieted down. Daisy states at the beginning of the novel while talking about finding out the sex of her child that, “I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool” (Fitzgerald, page 16). Daisy is the only female character in the novel who understands that no matter what a woman accomplishes, she will always be downcasted based on her gender. This outlook is what allows her to be controlled by Gatsby and Buchanan, because she doesn’t believe that anything she can do will make her more of a human to them. Myrtle on the other hand, while still a married woman, isn’t able to see her powerlessness. She feels powerful enough to stand up to Tom and chant Daisy’s name over and over again until he breaks her nose (Fitzgerald, page 37). This scene demonstrates the way that men handled women if they ever did feel confident enough to speak for themselves. One final scene from the novel that really
