● Conclusion
F.Scott Fitzgerald was a 20th century
American short story writer and novelist.
Although he completed four novel and more
than 150 short stories in his lifetime. He is
perhaps best remember for his Third novel ‘
The Great Gatsby’ this novel today considered
as ‘The Great American Novel.
Introduction
The Great Gatsby
This novel published in 1925 by Charles
Scribner’s sons. Set in Jazz age, New York.The
Novel tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self
made Millionaire and his pursuit of Daisy
Buchanan, a wealthy young woman he loved in
his youth.
Unsuccessful upon publication, the book is now
considered a classic of American fiction and has
often been called the great American Novel.
What is American Dream?
American Dream is a dream of wealth, money,
prosperity and going to the happiness that would
supposedly come along with the flourishing economy,
and the get rich quick schemes that built the
underworld of upper class- society in America.
Throughout the novel Fitzgerald displays how the
American dream is only a shallow concept of perfection
something can never be attained but can always be
reached for.
Character of Daisy Buchanan
Who is Daisy?
01 02
Daisy as Immortal character
of American literature
Is there any female character in
American literature more
coquettish and coveted than Daisy
fay Buchanan?
Daisy - Voice is full of money
Who is Daisy Buchanan?
Daisy - Voice is full of money
Daisy's life wasn't that easy and pink after all. She wanted many things but
as it happens to overly materialistic people she never had enough. She was
lacking in things and emotions. Tom and Daisy Buchanan’s marriage was
an illusion more than partnership. He cheated on her, She knew it and
couldn't leave the comfort his money gave her.
When Gatsby says Daisy’s voice is “full of money” he means that one can
Sense her wealth and privilege just from hearing her speak. The beautiful
Daisy has always lived a life of luxury, facing no consequences for her
words and actions.
‘Beautiful little fool’
Daisy says, “That is the best thing a girl can be in this world- a beautiful little
fool.
Daisy may not seem to be very bright a pempered heiress from an old Louisville
family. Daisy has lived a life of luxury and ease and she wants nothing more than
to keep it that way.
Daisy is delicate sweet girl with a thrilling voice , soft skin and pretty face. She
grew up in a rich family and is used to comfort and luxury. She simply can't
picture herself living another life.
Is there any female character in American literature
more coquettish and coveted than Daisy fay Buchanan?
She is the most desirable, debutante, the ever - evading maid, She is warm feverish, thrilling,
intoxicating - a siren, an enchantress, a blossoming flowers.
She is the quintessential southern Belle, cool in her white dress with her white mansion and
her little white mobile. She is the enchanted object, the great American Dream. All bright eyes
and a voice full of money - and ofcourse she is the light - green light.
She is the golden girl and the incorruptible angel and all the platonic ideals that artist and
poets throughout the great ages have required their muses to be.
Daisy as Immortal character of American literature
Daisy Buchanan has become an immortal character in Anglo- American literature
as the personification of the American dream.
Daisy is an immortal character of literature just like Elizabeth Bennett , Pecola,
Maria and many others.
We can also say that she is very suspicious to the influence of those around her.
She thinks like majority of people that surround her.
She wants to be person her friend's eyes would admire and most importantly
Daisy’s personality is a complete opposite to the narrator Nick Carraway, who
introduces her.
Conclusion
Daisy is more victim than victimiser.
She is victim first of Tom Buchanan's cruel power, but then of Gatsby's
increasingly depersonalised vision of her. One person may value someone's
outer and inner beauty differently than the next, therefore it is his or her
decision whether someone is beautiful or not. We can say that womens of
20th century who wants things readymade they don't want to do anykind of
effort for that.
‘Beauty is in eye of beholder’.
Margaret Wolfe

  • 2. Points to ponder:- ● Introduction of Writer ● Introduction of Novel ● What is American Dream? ● Character of Daisy Buchanan ● Conclusion
  • 3. F.Scott Fitzgerald was a 20th century American short story writer and novelist. Although he completed four novel and more than 150 short stories in his lifetime. He is perhaps best remember for his Third novel ‘ The Great Gatsby’ this novel today considered as ‘The Great American Novel. Introduction
  • 4. The Great Gatsby This novel published in 1925 by Charles Scribner’s sons. Set in Jazz age, New York.The Novel tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self made Millionaire and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman he loved in his youth. Unsuccessful upon publication, the book is now considered a classic of American fiction and has often been called the great American Novel.
  • 5. What is American Dream? American Dream is a dream of wealth, money, prosperity and going to the happiness that would supposedly come along with the flourishing economy, and the get rich quick schemes that built the underworld of upper class- society in America. Throughout the novel Fitzgerald displays how the American dream is only a shallow concept of perfection something can never be attained but can always be reached for.
  • 6. Character of Daisy Buchanan Who is Daisy? 01 02 Daisy as Immortal character of American literature Is there any female character in American literature more coquettish and coveted than Daisy fay Buchanan? Daisy - Voice is full of money
  • 7. Who is Daisy Buchanan?
  • 8. Daisy - Voice is full of money Daisy's life wasn't that easy and pink after all. She wanted many things but as it happens to overly materialistic people she never had enough. She was lacking in things and emotions. Tom and Daisy Buchanan’s marriage was an illusion more than partnership. He cheated on her, She knew it and couldn't leave the comfort his money gave her. When Gatsby says Daisy’s voice is “full of money” he means that one can Sense her wealth and privilege just from hearing her speak. The beautiful Daisy has always lived a life of luxury, facing no consequences for her words and actions.
  • 9. ‘Beautiful little fool’ Daisy says, “That is the best thing a girl can be in this world- a beautiful little fool. Daisy may not seem to be very bright a pempered heiress from an old Louisville family. Daisy has lived a life of luxury and ease and she wants nothing more than to keep it that way. Daisy is delicate sweet girl with a thrilling voice , soft skin and pretty face. She grew up in a rich family and is used to comfort and luxury. She simply can't picture herself living another life.
  • 10. Is there any female character in American literature more coquettish and coveted than Daisy fay Buchanan? She is the most desirable, debutante, the ever - evading maid, She is warm feverish, thrilling, intoxicating - a siren, an enchantress, a blossoming flowers. She is the quintessential southern Belle, cool in her white dress with her white mansion and her little white mobile. She is the enchanted object, the great American Dream. All bright eyes and a voice full of money - and ofcourse she is the light - green light. She is the golden girl and the incorruptible angel and all the platonic ideals that artist and poets throughout the great ages have required their muses to be.
  • 11. Daisy as Immortal character of American literature Daisy Buchanan has become an immortal character in Anglo- American literature as the personification of the American dream. Daisy is an immortal character of literature just like Elizabeth Bennett , Pecola, Maria and many others. We can also say that she is very suspicious to the influence of those around her. She thinks like majority of people that surround her. She wants to be person her friend's eyes would admire and most importantly Daisy’s personality is a complete opposite to the narrator Nick Carraway, who introduces her.
  • 12. Conclusion Daisy is more victim than victimiser. She is victim first of Tom Buchanan's cruel power, but then of Gatsby's increasingly depersonalised vision of her. One person may value someone's outer and inner beauty differently than the next, therefore it is his or her decision whether someone is beautiful or not. We can say that womens of 20th century who wants things readymade they don't want to do anykind of effort for that. ‘Beauty is in eye of beholder’. Margaret Wolfe
