    Beautiful, charming, and spoiled, Daisy is the object of Gatsby's
    love. Her caprice and materialism lead her to marry Tom
    Buchanan.

    Tom Buchanan

    Yale football star who sees himself at the top of an exclusive
    social hierarchy. He is conceited, violent, racist, and unfaithful.

    Jordan Baker

    high society. She both attracts and repels Nick as a romantic

    THE GREAT GATSBY

    The Great Gatsby is one of the most American famous novel


    written by F . Scott Fitzgerald . In this novel , two cities are
    mention namely west egg and east egg . Nick carraway who
    is the narrator of the novel . In this novel , we see that .Nick
    moves to East egg to meet his cousin Daisy . Here another
    important character mention in the novel is Gatsby . Gatsby
    and daisy are love each other but Daisy marries , Tom When
    Gatsby go to military camp .Daisy marries Tom because of
    money . Tom is very wealthy person . When , Tom to know
    that nick is daisy's cousin , Tom forces to Nick to get back
    daisy in his life , But Daisy refuse to say that she loves her
    husband . One day , Daisy and Tom are in the same car going
    to home . Daisy is driving the car . Unfortunately she kills
    myrtle Wilson . But Tom blames Gatsby for this murder and
    tells myrtles husband that Gatsby is responsible for that
    murder . That moment Wilson goes to his house and kills
    Gatsby .

    Gatsby is similar to Romeo.


    He is the real lover and only real man in this novel . Gatsby’s
    ex-lover Daisy betray him only because of his money hunger .
    On the other hand , Daisy's husband is also close enough to
    betrayal and liar . He lied Wilson that Gatsby kills her wife
    and because of his lie Gatsby is kill by Wilson.
    THE GREAT GATSBY

    IN MY POINT OF VIEW ..
    This is slightly inappropriate when daisy marries , Gatsby’s
    love is one sided , despite knowing that Daisy is greedy for
    money . She has no value for love . Gatsby love her deeply
    as a consequence of this true love Gatsby has to die..

    Thank You Sir ..
