"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..." (Fitzgerald 179)

As seen through these quotes, Daisy is an extremely shallow and selfish character in the Great Gatsby. She is only out for herself, and throughout the novel, all she wants to do is fulfill her materialistic needs. She is married to Tom, who cheats on Daisy and just isn't a good person. Daisy marries Tom because he has money, but then realizes she made a mistake when she meets Gatsby. She is passive when it comes to showing her real feelings, and leaves everyone questioning what she really wants. Daisy admits she loves Gatsby towards the end of the novel, but it seems like said so just because Gatsby kind of forced her to. Clearly, Daisy never really loved Gatsby because she never bothers to come to his funeral, or even send a message. Daisy is a materialistic, fake character.

"You always look so cool," she repeated. She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw. He was astounded. His mouth opened a little, and he looked at Gatsby, and then back at Daisy as if he had just recognized her as some one he knew a long time ago" (Fitzgerald 119).

"They're such beautiful shirts" she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such- such beautiful shirts before" (Fitzgerald 92)
