    • "Tom's getting very profound. He reads deep books with long words in them." --Daisy on Tom
    Daisy is Tom's wife and Nick's second cousin. Before World War I, she used to date Gatsby but married Tom during the war as Gatsby was too far away and he wasn't as wealthy as Tom.

    Wealth is a large fact in her marriage with Tom and her love was bought by Tom with a $300,000 necklace. However, now Gatsby is trying to win back her love with a large mansion [coincidentally, right next door to Nick] and a lot of nice shirts. Daisy is not a strong woman and she cracks under pressure. When it comes to judging a person, she judges the outside, not the inside.
