Daisy is depicted as a symbol of purity, innocence, and youth in literature and popular culture. She is often associated with qualities such as beauty, delicateness, and fragility. She is sometimes portrayed as a dreamer or a romantic figure.

In Fitzgeraldâ??s â??The Great Gatsbyâ??, Daisy and her husband Tom are described as â??conspiringâ?? due to their positioning and obvious shared into finding a way out of their dilemma. In addition, as members of Long Islandâ??s old money crowd, it is them against the â??New moneyâ?? people Myrtle and Gatsby represent.

Nick becomes an observer rather than an active participant. Nick is repulsed by the shallow superficiality of the people at the party. THe people have no other interest other than money and the illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself. The Jazz age, at least for the filthy rich, is a world of consumption and flat characters.

Gatsby refuses to believe that Daisy has moved on from their past relationship and refuses to let go of his idealized image of her. This behavior is driven by his intense longing for the past and his desire to recreate the past with Daisy at any cost, even if it means ignoring reality. His behavior is ultimately tragic, as it leads to his downfall in the novel.

Tom Buchanan wanted to buy Jay Gatsby's car in "The Great Gatsby" because he suspected that his wife, Daisy, was having an affair with Gatsby and thought acquiring the car might give him leverage or control in the situation.

The shallow freeloader who seems almost to live at Gatsby's mansion, taking advantage of his host's money. As soon as Gatsby dies, Klipspringer disappears-he does not attend the funeral, but he does call Nick about a pair of tennis shoes that he left at Gatsby's mansion.

Nick says that Gatsby's act of standing on the dock staring off is like he is "watching over nothing." In fact, Gatsby is gazing in the lighted direction of the object of his affection, Daisy, the woman who has been so idealized in Gatsby's head that the reality of her persona cannot possibly compete with the preconceived notions that Gatsby had developed. She is represented as beautiful and charming, but in the end Gatsby's expectations were still let down. The mental picture of Daisy meant everything to Gatsby, but the real Daisy meant nothing.

George Wilson found a dog leash in his house that belonged to Tom Buchanan, which made him suspect that Tom was having an affair with his wife, Myrtle. Additionally, Myrtle frequently received phone calls from Tom, confirming George's suspicions.

Jordan Baker tells Nick that they don't need to be careful because it takes two to make an accident. This conversation takes place in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby."

Nick returns west after Gatsby's death because he is disillusioned about the people that surround him ("After Gatsby's death the East was haunted for me like that, distorted my eyes' power beyond correction"). He sees that Tom and Daisy destroy the people who become attached to them, and that Jordan Baker is no better. Nick questions whether or not people who grow up in the west are able to adapt to the east even if they try with all there might. He comes to the conclusion that they cannot, not in the case of Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, or even himself.

One very sad event in Gatsby's life in "The Great Gatsby" is the death of his hope for a future with Daisy Buchanan due to her returning to Tom Buchanan. This loss represents the ultimate failure of his dream and leads to his own demise.

Tom does not seem to have much of a reaction when he sees Myrtle dead. He immediately approaches her husband George and begins talking about the yellow car that hit her, explaining that it is not his car (he was driving it through town earlier that day, but it is Gatsby's car, and Tom was not driving it back from NY). When he and Daisy reunite at their house, they are seen sitting calmly together, as if plotting (Daisy had been driving when Myrtle was hit). This suggests that Tom has a purely professional feeling toward Myrtle's death; he simply wants to make sure that he and Daisy get away from the situation clean. Tom tells Nick that he felt overcome with emotion as he cleared out the apartment he and Myrtle had shared prior to her death, however this is not supported by any of Tom's actions.

the subtle tribute is that the guest know nothing about him. says so on page 65 towards the bottom of the page.
