The Great Gatsby


            The relationship between Gatsby and Daisy is very strong. Gatsby and Daisy love each other deeply. The two were separated for a while because Gatsby joined the army, but after he returns, Gatsby devotes his life to be reunited with Daisy. They still love each other after five years of separation.
             In the first stage of the relationship, Gatsby and Daisy are madly in love with each other. Jordan Baker, a good friend of Daisy's, recalls the day in which she first saw the two together: "When I came opposite her house that morning her white roadster was beside the curb, and she was sitting in it with a lieutenant I had never seen before," the lieutenant being Gatsby, "They were so engrossed in each other that she didn't see me until I was five feet away," the world does not matter to them when they are with each other. Daisy is Gatsby's goddess: "The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometime, and because it seemed so romantic to me I have remembered the incident ever since," everything about her enchants him. Eventually, a bump in their relationship comes along, "Wild rumors were circulating about her-how her mother had found packing her bag one night to go to New York and say goodbye to a soldier who was going overseas," once again, the soldier being Gatsby. After Gatsby leaves, time passes and things change. Daisy becomes engaged to a rich man named Tom Buchanan. Jordan Baker, still recalling these events was a bridesmaid, "I came into her room half an hour before the bridal dinner and found her lying on her bed as lovely as the June night in her flowered dress-and as drunk as a monkey. She had a bottle of sauterne in one hand and a letter in the other," this is not like Daisy because she does not drink. The alcohol has obviously affected her thought process, "She [Daisy] groped around in a waste-basket she had with her on the bed and pulled out the string of pearls," Tom had previously given the pearls to her, "Take "em downstairs and give "em back to whoever they belong to.
