The Great Gatsby

Recently I read The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, in which the heroine Daisy my attention and put me deep in thought.

 Daisy Buchanan, a beautiful, young, rich woman,which was Nick’s cousin, Tom’s wife.But the most important thing is that she is Gatsby’s lover. The story takes place in the 1920s in New York City and long Island .Daisy was born on a wealthy family, whereas Gatsby comes from a family which is low and poor, both his parents are shiftless and unsuccessful farmer. The young Gatsby is smart, and has a brown, strong body . He fell in love with Daisy, but not for long, as the result of the First World War, they were separated. Finally, because of the money, she was married to Tom, a cruel, supercilious manner. Daisy married life is not happy, because Tom had mistress. The satisfaction of material does not fill Daisy spiritual emptiness.

 Several years later, Gatsby came back, and carried a lot of money. He cannot stop loving Daisy. He across the Daisy's house to build a building, and want to attract attention to her. When Daisy knew, she agreed, and they composite soon, but unfortunately, Daisy is changed, she just take this relationship as a stimulus. In one time, Daisy drive the car, run the husband's mistress called Myrtle. In order to protect Daisy, Gatsby undertake for the accident, but Daisy has abandoned Gatsby. Because of the tom, Myrtle's husband shot and killed Gatsby. At last, Gatsby became a victim. Until his death, Gatsby didn't find Daisy's mocking smile on her face. People held the funeral for Gatsby, but at that time, Daisy and her husband had have a trip in Europe

  To sum up, Selfish and cruel is the nature of Daisy, and overbearing emphasis on money, at the end of the story, this all lead to her own destruction. Though unlike Gatsby's physical destruction, Daisy's is one of a mental and spiritual kind.
