Daisy, the little debbie

Daisy Buchanan would make an exemplary southern belle. Not only does she wear a beautiful flowing white dress, but she also engages her company with infinite charm. Nick Carraway, the narrator and Daisy's second cousin once removed, pays her a visit, and she greets him as if "there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see" (13). He describes her melodious voice as "an arrangement of notes that will never be played again" when she murmurs charmingly in order to bring him closer (13). Daisy anticipates the longest day of the year just as a small child counts down the days until Christmas; just one of her many appealing qualities that make for brilliant company. She even strives to do a little matchmaking between Nick and Miss Baker, but in a polite delightful manner that would never embarrass or annoy a single soul. Daisy also playfully teases her husband, Tom, for bruising her little finger, calling him "a brute of a man, a great big hulking physical specimen" (16). Yet even with her polite personal magnetism which makes her the ideal hostess, several strategically placed winks and cold responses to Tom give her a strength and lead the reader to think she might be aware of her husband's other woman in New York. By the end of The Great Gatsby's first chapter, Fitzgerald introduces the appealingly elegant Daisy who is irresistibly loveable.
