Tom Buchanan hails from an affluent family and flaunts his wealth whenever he gets a chance. His wealth increases his arrogance to the point that he believes he is superior to others because he has money. Despite being completely ignorant and shallow, Tom believes he is above reproach and deserves respect.

Gatsbys wealth gave him moments of happiness, but the money alone was not enough. He needed love. Although money was the only way he was able to get with the girl he loved, it had consequences. After everything he did to get the girl, his action brought him his own death.

Money can blind humans in thinking that they are in love, but in reality it’s just the wealth that makes them happy. The relationship that Daisy and Gatsby had affected Gatsby because he had true love for it, whereas Daisy had true love for what he owned.

Money had no effect on the happiness of Characters, (except maybe the mechanic’s wife) Gatsby’s illegal booze empire didn’t help him reach that oh so distant green light, and nor did Nick’s lack of money drag him to dismay.

The simple mixture of gin, lime juice and club soda is fixed by Tom Buchanan at a lunch he hosts for Gatsby and Nick Carraway. Others are quite familiar, including the quaffable Bronx, the Gin Buck and the Ginger Ale Highball made with rye whiskey. One tipple that may not be familiar is the Orange Blossom.

Nick getting drunk shows how untrustworthy he is as a narrator, and how irresponsible he is not having a good manner at parties that are important. After Gatsby’s death at the end of the novel, it is only understood through Nick’s perspective. Only one perspective of his death is told.

Nick Carraway is in a sanitarium. In the film, Nick is writing from a sanitarium, where he’s checked himself in sometime following his summer with Gatsby and has been diagnosed as a “morbid alcoholic,” among other things.

Like the Sirens, Daisy’s voice issues a vague but entrancing promise of “gay, exciting things” to come, but instead her voice eventually leads to tragedy. They moved with a fast crowd, all of them young and rich and wild, but [Daisy] came out with an absolutely perfect reputation. Perhaps because she doesn’t drink.

In his quest for Daisy, whose name suggests purity, and in his romantic delusions, Gatsby perceives Daisy as the ultimate goal in his materialistic world. However, by saying that her “voice is full of money,” Gatsby suggests that she is also like a material object, namely money, that can be attained.

What does Gatsby mean when he says Daisy’s voice is “full of money”? When Gatsby says Daisy’s voice is “full of money,” he means that one can sense her wealth and privilege just from hearing her speak. Daisy’s manner of speaking (which Nick calls “indiscreet”) reflects her privileged position in society.

Gatsby

-Fitzgerald suggests that, as a member of a sphere of new wealth, Daisy has been corrupted by her position; Gatsby acknowledges that “her voice is full of money”, suggesting that although she uses her power and status to beguile, she is perhaps ultimately an empty character, with vacuous standards of love, unattainable …

Not only does she marry Tom Buchanan, a wealthy man, she believes that money makes everything better. Her ideologies about wealth, and the fact that she pays dearly for her wealth and fails to care, shows her obsession with financial stability. Daisy is not humble about her wealth.

Why is George Wilson sick? Because he has discovered that his wife Myrtle has been cheating on him. She mistakes Jordan Baker for Tom’s wife.

Hover for more information. Nick is related to old money because he is Daisy’s cousin. Like Tom, Daisy comes from a wealthy background and might be considered a “Kentucky Blueblood.” Importantly, however, Nick’s own nuclear family is not old money or new money.

In The Universality of Class Divisions (2008), A.E Dyson claims that Nick Carraway is the only character in the novel that has a background in the middle class. He belongs to neither the upper class of Tom and Daisy nor the working class of Myrtle.
