character Daisy was created as a girl who is sweet with the intent to help Nick out from the world and a traitor because she goes against the romantic side that Fitzgerald created for her (Washington). Daisy loves being surrounded by masculine men, who escorts away from a low class life to a bigger status in society, which puts her in a position where she is unable to control who she is around or what she looks like physically (Washington).
