Daisy Buchanan
She was known as a ‘golden girl’ this is because on the outside she is this perfect, nostalgic and delicate person but as we can see she towards the end she is has a second side a dark person a evil inside she is a careless and betrayal person who can’t be trusted.
Gatsby
Hard working respected man who lives alone in west egg and is in love with daisy but also has a mysterious background that no one knows and he has a party in his mansion every saturday this character is always revealing that he is never what you think he is and is always curious to know what is going on though the text we can also see him chang by he was in love with daisy when he was younger but he didn’t have the money to win her over so now at the end of the novel we can see he is now trying really hard to win daisy back we can also tell his emotional state is bad because when he went over to daisys in the last chapter he told tom that she never loved him and she always loved gatsby so he is here releasing all the anger out and coming straight with tom.
He then turns into this person who’s been revealed and now has no secrets and starts to get more angry as it crawls to the end because he starts getting tired of daisy not leaving tom already
Nick
Nick is the narrator of this story and after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, he goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment was his morals but as we see through this book his morals are broken and he starts to judge people and lies about things.Nick started to reserve all judgements because his father influence told him to reserve all judgements
2)
Illusion
Daisy”s illusion is that she represents a perfect person who has no flaws but the illusion is that she ends up being this sensitive and broken down person this was revealed when she ran over myrtle
3)
Relationships
a relationship that we see in the novel that has the idea of being false is a relationship between daisy and tom this can be seen as fake because when we see daisy with tom throughout the book there is never show actual emotion or love when they are seen together, this also reflects back to when gatsby was at daisy’s house and was trying to get daisy to say that she doesn’t really love tom and that she only married him because when gatsby was younger he didn’t have much money and therefore she wanted someone that had money and at the time it was tom we can see in this passage”I’ve got something to tell you, old sport…Your wife doesn’t love you,…She’s never loved you. She loves me.” we can now see here that gatsby is trying really hard to get daisy back and to tell tom that she really doesnt love him.This was a factor going through toms head throughout the day and made him angry, upset, confused and he felt like he needed to know the truth.

wild, but she came out with an absolutely perfect reputation.
Perhaps because she doesn’t drink. It’s a great advantage not
to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your
tongue and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they
don’t see or care. Perhaps Daisy never went in for amour at
all—and yet there’s something in that voice of hers….
Well, about six weeks ago, she heard the name Gatsby for
the first time in years. It was when I asked you—do you remember?—if you knew Gatsby in West Egg. After you had
gone home she came into my room and woke me up, and
said ‘What Gatsby?’ and when I described him—I was half
asleep—she said in the strangest voice that it must be the
man she used to know. It wasn’t until then that I connected
this Gatsby with the officer in her white car.
When Jordan Baker had finished telling all this we had
left the Plaza for half an hour and were driving in a Victoria
through Central Park. The sun had gone down behind the
tall apartments of the movie stars in the West Fifties and
the clear voices of girls, already gathered like crickets on the
grass, rose through the hot twilight:
‘I’m the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you’re are asleep,
Into your tent I’ll creep——’
‘It was a strange coincidence,’ I said.
‘But it wasn’t a coincidence at all.’
Page 84 Description
the starting couple of lines are talking about how daisy coming fro chicago had a perfect reputation, she wasn’t bad at all she was a “Golden Girl” and yet it is shown that she does not like to drink around heavy drinkers this could imply that she doesn’t like/want to get drunk, this might be because “you can hold your tongue” this might refer back to the fact that she has this perfect reputation because she doesn’t get drunk and its because she wants to know what she is doing and she doesn’t want to get hurt so being sober would help this. The next point in this text is that she hears the name gatsby after the first time in years
