The Great Gatsby
How does Nick describes Daisy? Is he correct?
Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Gatsby and Daisy first met in Louisville in 1917; Gatsby was instantly smitten with her wealth, her beauty, and her youthful innocence. Realizing that Daisy would spurn him if she knew of his poverty, Gatsby determined to lie to her about his past and his circumstances. Before he left for the war, Daisy promised to wait for him; the two then slept together, as though to seal their pact. Of course, Daisy did not wait; she married Tom, who was her social equal and the choice of her parents. Nick describes Daisy as someone who is drawn to wealth more than love. She is actually quite superficial.
