Initially Tom is 'a sturdy straw haired man of thirty, with a rather hard mouth...a supercilious manner...arrogant eyes...[and] a cruel body'. Tom is described to be 'one of those men who reach such an acute limit of excellence at twenty-one that everything afterwards savours anti-climax'.
Daisy is initially described to have a face that is 'sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth'
But towards the end of the novel a shift in perception can be seen . Although Tom and Daisy's outward appearance has not change, Nick views then as 'careless people Tom and Daisy, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they made...'
