Tom: “Daisy!, I’m very down in the dumps, how could you be such a fool with me after all the boundless belongings I gave you. How could you….. but for now on you're not going anywhere, or mess around with others and cause a big fuss like I did with that kook of yours to not mess with you again…….leaving me, NO WAY!, I'm only trying to protect you, my love” Daisy: “Tom will you ever forgive me, ….I don't know what happened to me over there it's just...That...I was filled with crazy fantasies by him” Tom: “Yes I can see, you were trying to run away with him, and leave me here like I did nothing to make you happy in this world!” Daisy: “I was so scared…..., terrified that one you guys would have ended up killing each other, Thank the lord …show more content…
Daisy: ...Myrtle? That's…….her name!? Tom: yeah, She got ran over, I feel dreadful for that man…. Tell me Daisy who was driving the car Daisy: what do you mean? Tom: ENOUGH!

You'll go back to your parents….and the police will never know who was the actual murder of Myrtle” Daisy: “OH! tom for the love of god don't do this to me…...I’m.. sorry please,... I'm so sorry that I became a problem for you…….. going out with him was my biggest mistake of all, but please don't send me back... we could work this out, we could get around this together…… will you help me?” Tom: “My god, how could you get yourself into this……….I won't forgive you, but I will help you, since I already told Wilson that, that car was gatsby's he’ll think It was him who did this, and I will not say anything about what you said, and Wilson, and no one will not know that it was you” Daisy: “Oh my.. NO!, he was a good friend of my, and now he doesn't know what's going to happen to him, ……………..alright, but..ok, that will work… THANK YOU SO
When Nick visits Daisy she tells him the story of how her daughter was born, “It’ll show you how I’ve gotten to feel about––things. Well, she was less than an hour old and Tom was God knows where. I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling.” By leaving Daisy behind at a time when she most needs him, Tom loses his value of companionship with Daisy. He no longer fits the three criteria that Daisy feels she needs in a man. Daisy knows that Tom no longer loves her and is having an affair with another woman, but despite all of this, Daisy has no intention of leaving him (20). This is because Tom, despite no longer fulfilling her emotionally, is still better for her financially and socially than if she left him to live alone. If Daisy wants to stay in her class, she has no option other than to stay with Tom. When Daisy finally sees Gatsby again, she suddenly has another option besides staying with Tom. Daisy knows that Gatsby has true feelings of love towards her, but leaving Tom would prove to be risky as it could tarnish her reputation and by extension her social stability. Daisy is now struggling between taking a risk for love and maintaining a safe, stable life she is ultimately unhappy
Daisy turned from Tom and began to sob, “did it ever come to your mind Tom that I need a little some love too?”
Tom asks Gatsby about his intentions with Daisy, and Gatsby replies that Daisy loves him, not Tom. Tom claims that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could not possibly understand. He then accuses Gatsby of running a bootlegging operation. Daisy, who began the afternoon in love with Gatsby, feels herself moving closer and closer to Tom as she watches the confrontation. Tom realizes he has won, and sends Daisy back to Long Island with Gatsby to prove Gatsby's inability to hurt him.
Later approaching the tragedy of of the book, Tom displays another act of sub-human behavior, nonchalantly brushing off his affairs, “And what’s more I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time.”(201). Tom in a sense...
...door while we were getting ready to leave and when I sent down “?'; that weren’t in he tried to force this way upstairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn’t told him who owed the car. His hand was on the revolver in his pocket every minute he was in the house-’ He broke off definitely. ‘What if I did tell him (Gatsby)? That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did Daisy’
Tom knew that Myrtle was going to be at the shop and he knew she would see Miss Baker, mistaking her for his wife. This is why he didn’t take Daisy in his car, he did not want anyone to actually see Daisy so that when she planned to hit Myrtle with the car nobody would know who she was. After they had got gas, they met up with Daisy and Gatsby at the Plaza hotel. This is when Tom called out Gatsby for his affair with his wife and let out all of his secrets. Even after finding out everything, Tom still had confidence that Daisy was going to stay with him allowing her and Gatsby ride back home together, “You two start on home, Daisy, in Mr. Gatsby's car… Go on. He won’t annoy you. I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over,” (Fitzgerald 141). Gatsby had allowed Daisy to drive his car, “.. but of course I’ll say I was , when we left New York she was very nervous and she thought it would steady her to drive… It all happened in a minute, but it seemed to me that she wanted to speak to us, thought we were
...e matter, the main issue is that he will not allow Daisy to leave him for Gatsby. The group of five (the main characters) were having lunch, when Daisy tells Gatsby “that she loved him… [Tom] was astounded. His mouth opened a little [.]” (Fitzgerald,126) With Tom’s jealousy about Daisy ‘loving’ Gatsby, he wants Daisy back all to himself. Tom presumes that getting Gatsby killed will solve the case of getting Daisy back.
From the outside, Daisy seems like the demure wife of a wealthy ex-football player, Tom Buchannan. The relationship the two share is far from a perfect marriage, but it is functional for upper-class society. Daisy often speaks nonsense, putting off the impression that she lacks intelligence, but there are moments when Daisy shows her true nature. The first moment occurs when Daisy shares
Even though at first when they finally got together after all those years and everything seem great and romantic but good things always come to an end. The affair effected Gatsby in his life by having him back the old love he first had for Daisy even hoping for a lifetime future together. His dream is very much vivid about his romantic hopes about Daisy in his mind, “There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams, not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion” (95). He seems to be falling deeper in love with her even maybe more than the love she really had for him even though through the end of the chapters her love that she claims to have for him seemed not truly. In New York, the truth comes out more about she feels about Gatsby by being questioned and feeling guilty when Tom gets to the fact that she loves him and not Gatsby but Gatsby rejects his sayings and tells Daisy to say how she truly feel about him. Over all the excitement, Daisy tells how she truly feel about the whole love affair, “I did love him once but I loved you too” (132). It is possible that the leading of Gatsby’s death was caused from Tom’s jealousy of his wife’s confessed love for Gatsby. Tom would had told Wilson that Gatsby was the driver of the car that killed Myrtle and her secret
The car pulled up to Wilson’s garage. Instantly, anger filled my body. Myrtle should be alive. Myrtle should be here. But instead, that man- this man- let her go and get herself killed. I knew who it was. Gatsby. He was one with the yellow car. He was the one driving. God knows, he wouldn’t let Daisy drive.
Daisy even be cause? she loved him so why would she try to be involved in this
Gatsby had gone on a trip later with his yacht. Then he was with Nick and Tom they had dinner. Gatsby had invited Daisy and Tom to a party they went to his party. The party ended and Gatsby was depressed as he talked to Nick, he told him that Daisy should tall Tom that she’s never loved him. Gatsby said she used to understand. One hot summer day Gatsby and Nick were at the Buchanan’s house, Daisy went up to Gatsby and kissed him on the mouth and told him she loved him. Tom came back into the house with ice for the drinks, Daisy wanted to go to town then she looked to Gatsby and they both starred into each others eyes, Tom then looked at Gatsby and broke in quickly insisting to go to town. Tom got into Gatsby’s car and drove off to town, he stopped at a gas station to fill up he saw Wilson sick and Wilson talked about wanting money. Tom gave Wilson his car. They went off to a Plaza Hotel in the city. Tom asked Gatsby when he had gone to Oxford, Gatsby answered in 1919. Tom got angry and put Gatsby down as he knew that Gatsby and Daisy were flirting with each other. Gatsby stood up and told Tom that Daisy never
...tically took blame for everything to spare Daisy from being accused of murder.”’Was Daisy driving?’ ‘Yes… but of course I’ll say I was” (143) His eternal love for Daisy made him fear nothing, he only feared solitude; his passion for that girl made him strong before any situation; his commitment made him persevere till the end: “’How long are you going to wait?’, ‘All night if necessary’” (144).
...y. When Daisy states that he is a brute, he expresses his dissatisfaction, however he remains calm. This illustrates that her perception is blurred since she does not recognize the fact that Tom has very little respect for her. Her trust for Tom is at a highly excessive level, ultimately resulting in the cost of her life. This occurs as “she (rushes) out (onto the road), into the dusk waving her hands and shouting” at the car in which she believes Tom to be driving. (7. 5-6. 137) As she sees the approaching vehicle she anticipates that it will stop for her since Tom is driving it. When she realizes that Tom is not in the car, and that the car is not stopping, it is too late and Myrtle is killed instantly. The poor sense of judgement that Myrle carries in her affair with Tom best illustrates her as the tragic hero.
Daisy was Nick’s second cousin once removed, and Tom Buchanan was Daisy’s hulking brute of a husband and classmate of Nick’s from college. Jordan Baker, a prominent tennis player of the time, was staying with Daisy and Tom. As they sat down and chatted, it was Jordan who mentioned Gatsby, saying that she had been to one of his extravagant parties that he held every weekend. The four sat down to dinner when Tom received a phone call, which Daisy suspected to be from Tom’s mistress. Afterwards, Daisy and Nick talked and Jordan and Tom went out to walk about the grounds. Daisy talked about her little daughter and how when she was born Tom was not even there and she had wished out loud that she would be a fool, for that was the only way she could ever be happy. The four met again at the house and then Jordan went to bed and Nick went home.
