Gatsby becomes so fixated with Daisy that through his years of desiring and mentally conceiving her, he has created an image of her that represents an ideal so elusive that not even Daisy, the subject of his devotion, could possibly match it. Gatsby is so hopelessly lost in his pursuit of Daisy that no roadblock, no matter how staggering, could deter him from his goal. After having a pleasant rekindling of memories, Gatsby and Daisy lust for each other and begin an affair, even though Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan.
