In "The Great Gatsby", Daisy Buchanan is very beautiful and girly, but in the end, her true colors show when she gives no interest in Gatsby's death. Gatsby is madly in love with her, but only because she says things he wants to hear and does things he wants her to do. Before Gatsby went to war, he fell in love with the young, beautiful, and single Daisy Fay. Daisy loved Gatsby, and it possibly could have been for his personality, but it seemed like it was mostly because he was handsome and in uniform. She had no idea he was penniless until right before he left. Daisy eventually got tired of waiting, and ended up marrying Tom Buchanan. And, again, maybe she loved him a little bit, but I believe it was because Tom had money. That, to me, shows Daisy as a gold digger with poor character. She's too restless to settle and wait, and all she wants is to live a luxurious life.
After five years of war, Gatsby returned to America and made a fortune. He never forgot about Daisy, and ended up buying a luxurious home right across the bay from her. He threw extravagant parties hoping that one day, she would hear about them and end up wandering in just to be the little social butterfly she is. Gatsby obsessed over the thought of Daisy coming back to him, and when she finally did, he was so entranced by her that he paid little attention to anything else. But, the problem was that Gatsby was in love with the Daisy he met five years ago, and sadly, that Daisy is long gone. The new Daisy, Daisy Buchanan, was not only married, but seemed to only care about her reputation. She may have loved Gatsby, but not enough to make her seem unwell to others. For instance, when Gatsby died, she didn't attend the funeral, send flowers, call, or write to pay respect. She disappeared with Tom and their daughter, Pammy.
So, in conclusion, Daisy's beauty was what got Gatsby in the first place, not her personality. She's sweet and amusing and has a light tone about everything, but when it comes to serious times and decisions, she's distant and cold. It's sad, how much Gatsby did for her, how much effort he put into getting her back, and she ends up forgetting about him anyway. Although, Gatsby has no one to blame but himself for his predicament. After all, he's the one who fell for Daisy's facade, and not her personality. If you really want to love someone, you need to get to know whats on the inside, not just on the surface.
