In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the
character of Daisy Buchanan has many instances where
her life and love of herself, money, and materialism
come into play. Daisy is constantly portrayed as
someone who is only happy when things are being given
to her and circumstances are going as she has planned
them. Because of this, Daisy seems to be the character
that turns Fitzgerald's story from a tale of wayward
love to a saga of unhappy lives.
Fitzgerald portrays Daisy as a 'doomed' character
from the very beginning of the novel. She seems
concerned only of her own stability and is sometimes
not ready to go though what she feels she must do to
continue the life that she has grown to know. She
tells that she only married Tom Buchanan for the
security he offered and love had little to do with the
issue. Before her wedding, Jordan Baker finds Daisy in
her hotel room,
'groping around in the waste-basket she
had with her on the bed and pull[ing] out
[a] string of pearls.

Money seems to be one of the very top priorities in
her life, and everyone that she surrounds herself
with, including her daughter, seem to accept this as
mere fact with her. She lives in one of the most elite
neighborhoods in the state, in one of the most elegant
houses described in the book, and intends very much
for her daughter to grow up much like she has. 'And I
hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl

Avoid general sentences
Your essay lacks supports in vital spots. For instance, how do we know that Daisy is truly in love with Gatsby. This is a common misconception since daisy did love Gatsby in the past, but now she is using him. notice how nick says that the rich ppl are careless. She is careless with Gatsby and his feelings. Examine the argument(When gatsby if urging Daisy to say she never loved nick) it is important to notice that she has to be urged to say she never loved tom and that she is relucatant to even say so. Also, her strongest vocal point is when she calls tom revolting and refers to one of his sprees. It is obvious that she is using Gastby as a spree to get revenge on Tom. Also, how does Tom demonstrate more stability than Gatsby? Try to avoid such generalizations in your essay. When daisy meets gatsby again she could easily leave tom since gastby can also give her financial stability so why doesnt she do so willingly?
