Chapter Four

Character: Daisy Buchanan
Character Quote: Perhaps Daisy never went in for amour at all- and yet theres something in that voice of hers." (77). This quote tells alot about Daisy. It is describing her voice and how it is something that everyone she meets notices about her.
Character Qualities: Daisy is a very happy and friendly person. She seems like she cares about other people thatn herslef, a quality that has not been seen much in this book yet. She is beautiful and has a voice that effects people very strongly. She seems like she can get what she want. Her good qualities are that she is sweet, welcoming and tries to be modest about her money. Her bad qualities are that she seems very needy of attention. We have just found out about her love of Gatsby and i think that she left Gatsby because he wasnt going to be able to give her attention. She doesnt seem very independant.
Character Role: In the book so far, Daisy has been a main female role. She is the wife of Tom and has no been able to break free of him even though it is clear that she doesn't want him anymore. Her role seems to be somewhat of a distraut housewife. Her secrets that she has been keeping from her husband about her previous love are coming out and getting her in trouble. Maybe Daisy isnt as innocent as we all thought she was. It seems like she has a few secrets in the closet that are just waiting to come out.
Significant Quote: "...Those who accepted Gatsby's hospiitality and paid him the subtle triut of knowing nothing about him." (61). I think that this quote is really important in the chapter. Even though it is only about Gatsby, i think that it shows a lot about the way he is viewed and how everyone looks up to him. The mystery about Gatsby is that no one ever sees him or knows anything about him. Because of this, this quote is important. Its crazy that all these people look up to this man so much even though they have never met him. It shows alot about their society.
Sightings: "Where there was a glimpse of red-belted ocean-going ships. (68). The color red in this book is brought up alot. In many cases it is used to describe supiriority. The glisening of the shiny red ships are used to show how nice they look, an upper class experience clearly.
