To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfectionshe has the advantages of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In realit 。

34、y, however, Daisy is not the short of Gatsbys ideals at all. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gats 。

She is indifferent even to her own infant daughter, never discussing her and treating her as an afterthought when she is introduced。
