She spent her afternoons with the lover of her life, but went home to her cheating husband. A petite, charming young woman. Her east egg mansion is every woman’s dream.
You may have guessed by her well-known status that Daisy Buchanan truly is one of a kind. Before marrying her notorious husband, Tom, she lived out west. Born into a family of wealth she has never known anything less. When she was just a teenager she fell in love with a man named Gatsby but left him because he was poor. Mrs. Buchanan married Tom for money not for love.
Now that Gatsby is well-known and rich Daisy wants to be with him again. She even mutters the words “I love you” when Tom leaves the room. When faced with the pressure of choosing between money and her one true love she chooses the money, like any other women today. Many think Daisy is a ditzy, but kind and loving person, but she’s just after the money and high up status. Nick Carraway, Diasy’s cousin, says “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
As you can see Daisy Buchanan is a woman just after the money. She will crush anything in her way to get to it, even her one true loves heart.
