Blog 1: Character Analysis

    Upon my first glimpse at the character of Daisy Buchanan in the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I have keyed slightly into her personality. Daisy's flamboyant and bright attitude first first stuck out to me as she is introduced into the novel. She has a way of making others feel particularly important. To show, "...promising that there was no one she so much wanted to see. That was a way she had,"(Fitzgerald,9). By this point, I was drawn to Daisy's charming nature and carefree soul which continued to show through as the chapter progressed."...her voice glowing and singing,"(Fitzgerald,14). This attribute, I find admirable but peculiar because she knows her husband is cheating on her. The fact that she can withstand such composure despite this, is certainly plausible. Aside from this, and luckily, on a lighter note, Daisy's sporadic personality makes for easier, yet unpredictable reading. One moment, talking about long days, and next, civilizations. Though, only a chapter into this book, I already have connected with the character of Daisy. Overall, I believe she is a character to envy, and I myself wish I could emulate her same constant giddiness.
