Daisy Buchanan is the wealthy cousin of the narrator Nick Carraway and wife to Tom Buchanan. She is a socialite from Louisville, Kentucky. She is described as the most beautiful girl in town, and she attracts young army officers stationed at her family’s estate. She falls in love with Gatsby and promises to wait for him when he leaves for the war, but she eventually marries Tom. She is a shallow, careless woman who has little sense of morality. She is obsessed with money and material things.
Many people argue that Daisy represents the status of women in America in the 1920s. Despite the new rights granted by the 19th amendment, most women were still trapped in unhappy marriages and constrained by strict gender roles. Daisy could be seen as a victim of this era who lost her way and became bogged down in her wealth and status.
Her first words to Nick when he arrives at the Buchanan estate is that she is “paralyzed with happiness.” This is not an earnest expression of her pleasure to see him, but rather a performance for him. She is not as happy to see him as she lets on, and she is bored with life in general.
This is one of the most famous daisy buchanan quotes from the novel, and it shows how materialistic she is. She is more interested in her clothes and jewels than she is in Gatsby. She thinks he is asking too much of her by wanting her love, and she is unable to separate his desire for her from his own need for money.
