Daisy Buchanan's character has many instances where her life and self-love, money and materialism come into play. Daisy is consistently portrayed as someone who is only happy when things are given to her and circumstances go the way she planned them. For this reason, Daisy seems to be the character who transforms Fitzgerald's story from a rebellious romance to a saga of unhappy lives. Fitzgerald portrays Daisy as a "doomed" character from the beginning of the novel. She seems only concerned with her own stability and is sometimes not ready to face what she feels she needs to do to continue the life she has come to know. She says she married Tom Buchanan only for the security he offered her and that love had little to do with the matter. Before his wedding, Jordan Baker finds Daisy in his hotel room, "reaching into the basket she had with her on the bed and taking out [a] string of pearls." They came back... Tell everyone that Daisy changed with mine... She started crying - she cried and cried... we locked the door and made her take a cold bath." (Fitzgerald 77) Money seems to be one of the top priorities in her life, and everyone she surrounds herself with, including her daughter, seems to accept it as a simple fact with her. She lives in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the state, in one of the most homes elegant described in the book, and longs for her daughter to grow up just like she did "And I hope she'll be a fool: that's the best thing a girl can be in the world today, a beautiful little fool" (Fitzgerald 24) She he repeatedly raves about boats, large windows and halls where many extravagant parties are held. This only reminds us of his dependence on material possessions and his stories about his clothes and home furnishings confirm this sad fact Bloomingdales and avoid anyone who is out of place in a gathering of society's richest and most pompous citizens. He is eager to show off and displays similar behavior when he parades his daughter in front of guests like an inanimate object. So intimate, in fact, that it seems Pammy wasn't even really wanted.
