What is it about Daisy?
What is it about Daisy Buchanan that makes people act they way they do? Tom Buchanan finds their relationship boring enough that he won't remain faithful to her. Jordan Baker idolizes her. Jay Gatsby set up a whole scheme just so he would get the chance to talk to her. Jay Gatsby moves next door to Nick Carraway, in hopes that after he throws multiple parties, he'll casually invite Nick to one. Gatsby hopes the two will bond, and the topic of Daisy will casually come up, and Nick will offer to invite her over, and Gatsby and Daisy will converse once again, and their spark will be re-ignited. So what is it about Daisy that makes her such a commodity to Gatsby, but Tom is so willing to throw her away for Myrtle? What is it that caused Jordan to idolize her? What is it about Daisy that makes the characters act the way they do around her?

Daisy is my least favorite person in the book. She seems to be extremely fake and only likes people for their money.Gatsby and Daisy had something and it seems like he is trying to catch something which can not be caught. Tom knew that Daisy loved him and it almost was like Tom was bored with Daisy . In the end when Gatsby ends up dead for his love of Daisy it symbolizes that love cannot exist between two completely different worlds.
