Portrayal of Daisy Buchanan
in The Great Gatsby
- (1) In the novel, Daisy is beautiful and charming but she is
also presented as shallow and ditzy. She promises to
Gatsby that she would wait for him to come back from the
war but instead marries Tom Buchanan for his financial
stability. She is portrayed as only being focused on
materialistic things such as wealth, status, and appearance.
She behaves superficially to mask her pain at her
husband’s constant infidelity.
- (2) Daisy seems to have achieved complete success with
her marriage to Tom Buchanan and her popularity within
higher social circles but she knows that he is cheating and
she still pretends to be oblivious. In the novel, she quotes "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.” In
reference to her daughters’ birth. She says this because
she knows the role of women and how they are portrayed
in the eyes of men. Women were expected to tolerate what
was going on around them and act like they don't know
anything. This quote can also refer to Daisy because she
acts oblivious to her husband’s infidelity but she is with him
because of the wealth and his appearance.
- (3) Daisy also has a love of the finer things in life as she wants to be rich.
We can see this as when she sees Gatsby’s wealth she starts to fall for
him because he has finally gotten rich since the last time they have met.
She is confused as to what she wants. This shows that Daisy is shallow
because she only married tom because of money but now that she sees
Gatsby with money she is confused as to where she wants to be.
- (4) Daisy demonstrates weakness
and her love for money and riches
and popularity through this. She is
portrayed as careless and disloyal
because she once again chooses
Tom over Gatsby and she lets him
take the blame for the killing of
myrtle, which caused Mr. Wilson to kill
Gatsby.
