The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald is based upon three characters involved in a love triangle. (However...meaning behind this) Daisy, a beautiful yet insecure young woman is married to Tom, but also accepts the courtship of Gatsby, her first true love. Set in the 1920s, tangled into the web of lovers are complications such as materialism, greed, adultery, and power hunger. Though Gatsby and Tom have confessed their love for Dais
The unbounded love of just one man cannot bring Daisy contentment. Her facial expression and tone of voice are clearly exaggerated as she speaks to Nick because he has such a strong reaction to it. (I've heard it said that Daisy's murmur was only to make people lean toward her; an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming. y, she is incapable of returning her love to either character. She employs tactics such as speaking softly causing people to "lean toward her" and direct their concentration solely towards her. Nick describes her "looking up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. Daisy's incessant need to be loved by everyone around her drives Daisy's (very) first action. She instinctively (is trained to immediately) works to attain the attention of any man that enters her life. He infers from her mannerisms that "there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. Thus Daisy is not fulfilled by Gatsby's love and does not in return love him back.

" Daisy's behavior has a hypnotizing effect on her victims.
