Abstract
This paper is a comparative analysis of the characters of Daisy Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Daisy is the wife of Tom Buchanan, and Myrtle the woman he is having an affair with. It looks at how these two women represent characters who are almost opposites in many regards and how the major differences include their wealth, their vitality, and their emotional ability.

From the Paper
"Daisy and Myrtle are opposites in regard to their wealth. Daisy has wealth and all the material possessions she desires. In contrast, Myrtle lives closer to poverty. There is also a difference in their attitudes to wealth. Tom describes how Daisy uses her wealth to protect herself, as if having the money gives her value: "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together" (Fitzgerald 152). Daisy is seen to be comfortable with her wealth. However at the same time, it does not bring her happiness."

Abstract
This paper discusses how no two characters in fiction symbolize the qualities of the neurotic, upper class Southern woman more than Tennessee Williams' Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." It demonstrates how although different in many respects, both women are tragic contemporary figures of American literature.

From the Paper
"Blanche has had a rather tragic that has left her emotionally starved and on the verge of a breakdown. She married at a young age, only to discover her husband was bi-sexual and when confronted committed suicide. This has haunted her and led her to numerous sexual partners, nameless faces actually. She was forced to sell the plantation due to the funeral bills from her parents' death. Now Blanche is essentially a pathetic middle-aged alcoholic pretending she is wealthier, younger and more beautiful than she has become. The pain of her past keeps Blanche from living in reality, however, she is aware of how she looks and shies from any direct light."

Abstract
The writer introduces his discussion by emphasizing how recognizing Daisy's supreme self-interest as her primary motivation is crucial to understanding the outcome of the novel. The writer focuses on Daisy's lack of exposure to struggle along with her excessive material wealth, and how it creates in Daisy a great deal of selfishness that only expands with time. The writer uses the characters of Tom and Gatsby to further illustrate how despite her physical beauty and kind image, Daisy is ultimately a creature driven by vanity and self-interest.

From the Paper
"The character of Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is somewhat enigmatic. Due to chronological shifts in the novel and the fact that the narrator does not know Daisy well, thus forcing the reader to rely at least partly on the sentimental musings of Jay Gatsby, Daisy's identity is not easily pinned down. As the story unfolds, however, parts of her life can be pieced together to help give shape to her character: her privileged upbringing, the sequence of events that accompanied her development from young girl into woman, her marriage to Tom, etc. An exploration of Daisy's identity, particularly as it relates to Gatsby, seems to point in one direction. She is not conniving or cruel; she is just profoundly self-centered."

Abstract
While F. Scott Fitzgerald himself claimed that he felt that the "The Great Gatsby" would fail because there were ?no important women characters? in it, it seems that this is not popular opinion. Indeed, few critics have written about ?The Great Gatsby? without discussing Daisy Fay Buchanan. This paper explores the different views of the character Daisy Fay, including many critics' opinions and the views of F. Scott Fitzgerald himself. In conclusion, the author of paper gives her own personal view of Daisy's role in the novel.

From the Paper
"She seems to be inconsiderate, careless, and shallow; all of this is made quite clear by her careless, often insensitive attitude towards others, which is apparent throughout the novel. However, I disagree with the strong views of critics who believe her to be mean-spirited and cruel, as she seems to feel genuine affection for her cousin Nick-"I love to see you at my table, Nick. You remind me of a - of a rose" and warmth towards other people - "I like her" said Daisy. "I think she's lovely". Her love for both Gatsby and her husband Tom when they were first together also conflicts greatly with critics such as Leslie Fiedler's views; his claim that Daisy Fay was "The first notable anti-virgin of our fiction, the prototype of the blasphemous portraits of the fair goddess as bitch in which our twenty-first century fiction abounds" seems quite absurd as Daisy cries tenderly "Even alone I can't say I never loved Tom - it wouldn't be true"."

Abstract
Blanche Dubois and Daisy Buchanan are two main characters in literature. Blanche is the main character in Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Daisy is the main character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby". An analysis of these two characters in this paper shows that while they are similar based on their upbringing and their need to hide from reality, they are opposites on all other fronts, including how their upbringing has influenced them, what they are concerned with, how they experience love, whether they are willing to make sacrifices, whether they are able to let go of the past and how their problems are resolved.

From the Paper
"Another difference in the two characters is how they experience love. Daisy appears to be incapable of love. While she does claim to have loved Gatsby in their past, she quickly forgets him when he goes to war and she begins seeing other men. She also claims to love him in the present but when it comes the time to make a decision, she chooses Tom because he has wealth. In addition, she allows Gatsby to take the blame when she runs over Myrtle Wilson and does not even attend Gatsby's funeral. These are all signs that Daisy does not feel love, but only experiences love based on how it benefits her. Blanche is almost the complete opposite. She feels love deeply, to the point where she cannot let go of the love she feels for her husband Stanley."

From the Paper
"Pat Buchanan is a hard-line social conservative candidate for the U.S. presidency. Buchanan's campaign emphasizes a no-compromise stance on controversial issues such as abortion, illegal immigration, and protectionist trade barriers. Although fellow Republican candidate Bob Dole has clinched the party nomination for president, Buchanan placed a respectable third behind the well-financed campaign of Steve Forbes. The resiliency of support for Buchanan's rhetoric has raised concern among high-ranking Republicans, particularly in light of the approaching GOP Convention in San Diego, where Buchanan could exert a critical influence on the party's campaign platform.
Economic nationalism is the theme of Buchanan's bid for the presidency; his motto is "America first." Essentially, Buchanan advocates returning to the types of economic policies that.."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan to determine the theme. It explains how Gatsby struggles to earn money, even succumbing to illegal activities, to impress Daisy. Even through Gatsby labored for Daisy, she refuses to devote all her love to him because he cannot join her aristocratic social class, even with money. It explains that Buchanan keeps her despite his lack of love only because he resides among the social elite. Gatsby's failure demonstrates the futility of the American Dream and that society is still controlled by a sheathed class cast system which prevents even the hardest working Americans from joining.

From the Paper
"In feudal Europe, wealthy lords and ladies thrived off the labor of unfortunate peasants because of their possession of land. This rigid social system depended upon the cooperation of the lower classes with the higher class and the preservation of a high ratio of laborers to noblemen. Because the noblemen dictated the social and economical lives of the peasants, peasants rarely became nobles. America's government was drafted to eliminate these social barriers by promising the possible attainment of the American Dream to all citizens, wealthy or poor. In the 1920's, wealth and property became easily attainable, and the American Dream seemed like a prospect for all Americans. However, the feudal system survived; cloaked under the accessible flow of cash, distinct social classes still divided the population. Even if a lower-class man becomes as wealthy as the noble aristocracy, the established lords and ladies need to preserve their status and the high laborer to noble ratio, so they exclude the newly rich from their inner society. This conflict is especially distinct in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which explores the lives of Jay Gatsby, a young, gauche social climber, and Tom Buchanan, an arrogant, conservative aristocrat. Both Gatsby and Tom pursue their versions of the American Dream throughout the novel, revealing the decline of American Dream to social feudality in the 1920's as a central theme to the novel."

Abstract
This six-page paper presents an in-depth character analysis of the Daisy Faye Buchanan who appears in The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald. The author of this paper prompts us to look at her motives and her actions to determine what type of person she was.

Abstract
In this paper, I analyze the three main female characters of "The Great Gatsby": Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Myrtle Wilson. I attempt to show how each represented the materialism and shallow nature of the upper classes during 1920s America. I point out how the characters are similar in that they are self-centered, careless and have little self-respect.
