'Gatsby Daisy Portrait\r'

'Alexis Romano Mr. Emra Honors Ameri layabout Literature (5) 23 January 2012 Portrait of Daisy Buchanan Wife of turkey cock Buchanan, cousin ( erstwhile removed) of slit Carraway, and love interest of Jay Gatsby are all titles at one time held by Daisy Buchanan, an intriguing character in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic â€Å"The Great Gatsby. ” Throughout the refreshed, Daisy oozes thoughtlessness; she has an unverbalized essence of charm, but once she gets the attention she craves she acts on another personality trait of hers, her frivolous thin out for other people’s emotions. mend these characteristics are factor of what define Daisy, a more fitting definition of Daisy’s essence would be her practicality. In the setoff chapter, Daisy hopes that her daughter bequeath be less reasonable than she is, in chapter eight the reader finds out that Daisy was under the impression that Gatsby came from a wealthy background, and again in the eighth chapt er, the issue of Daisy’s undying judgement rears it’s head. Within the first seventeen pages of the impudent, Fitzgerald has already addressed Daisy’s need to remain grounded and realistic.After cock-a-hoop birth to her daughter, Pammy, Daisy remarks: â€Å"I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a foolâ€that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. ” Daisy is hoping that her daughter never develops the without end practicality that she was cursed with. At this advert in the story, Daisy has already sent her â€Å"Dear John” letter to Gatsby, and begun a descent, then marriage with the well off gobbler Buchanan.Daisy is wishing that she had been less pragmatic and more misguided by taking a chance and staying with Gatsby sort of than being safe and marrying tom turkey. Daisy hates that she cannot allow herself to be cheerful with Gatsby without the security of Tom’s m angiotensin-converting enzymey. By hoping for a foolish daughter Daisy is hoping for Pammy to make decisions based on love and whatever makes her happy rather than the seemingly fundamental things that Daisy was concerned with. Even Gatsby knew that Daisy was a rattling ground minded individual who always ad the prox in mind; he love her regardless. â€Å"He had deliberately given Daisy a mind of security; he let her believe that he was a person from much the same story as herselfâ€that he was fully able to fritter care of her. â€Å" Gatsby understood Daisy enough to know that without a promise of wealth, Daisy wouldn’t allow herself to associate with him, so as to avoid some(prenominal) impractical womanize beginning with a man who couldn’t retain her style of financial backing later in life.She began her dally with Gatsby under the false pretense that he had the sum of coin necessary for Daisy to live comfortably, which was the number one priority on her list. Daisy did not realize that she was living unrealistically, so her obsession with remaining grounded and practical was not a problem. Also in chapter eight, Nick (the narrator) tells how â€Å" there was a quality of nervous despair in Daisy’s letters. ” While Gatsby was in the war, Daisy was left to reckon every possible blemish in their relationship.At each moment while he was abroad Gatsby could afford changed his mind about loving Daisy, which brought out Daisy’s most circumspect mindset. This point in the novel shows how despite being in love with Jay Gatsby, Daisy will not allow herself to fully be with a man who cannot take care of her. Another point in chapter eight where her levelheadedness is evident is when Nick brings up what Daisy wanted: â€Å"She wanted her life shaped now, without delayâ€and the decision must be made by some forceâ€of love, of bills, of unquestionable practicalityâ€that was close at throw. It is clear that while Daisy really did believe in love and wished to find it, she was much too practical, allowing money to be just as crucial to the relationship as the chemistry between herself and either Tom or Gatsby. Daisy eventually chooses between real absolute love and her perpetual practicality by dating, and later marrying Tom Buchanan. â€Å"Doubtless there was a certain press and a certain relief. Although Daisy doesn’t piddle feelings as strong for Tom as she does for Gatsby she allows the aspect of money to sway her opinions on which man to be with, once again showing how painfully prudent she is. While reading â€Å"The Great Gatsby” it was easy to fall into Fitzgerald’s trap of becoming emotionally invested in the story. I became a close friend of Gatsby (my favorite character), grow for him in his relationship with Daisy, his friendship with Nick and any and all of his shady business endeavors. Being so biased in Gatsby’s favor makes it aphoni c for me to determine whether or not I like or disliked Daisy.On one hand, she didn’t have the strength to take a chance and come about her heart, by waiting for Gatsby while he fought in the war; but on the other hand she was able to make unromantic, unidealistic decisions to ensure that in the future she would be taken care of and protected, which I can valuate. Ultimately, I think that my loyalty to my dear friend, Gatsby, overpowers my respect for Daisy’s businesslike way of decision making, going me to decide that there were more moments in the novel when I disliked Daisy than moments when I had respect for her exponent to make difficult decisions.\r\n'
