I want to revise the statement I made in-class. I don't believe Daisy should live Tom, but I also do not believe that she should have an affair either. She wants to agree with the times? Fine. I know I would have, so I'll say what I would have done even though I know some people will not agree. Daisy should suck it up. She was the one who made a mistake. She was the one who married Tom when Gatsby asked her to wait and her reason for that in the movie (although it can't be that far from the truth) is that "rich girls don't marry poor guys". She was always superficial and though I feel sorry for her at times, it doesn't erase the fact that she choose to marry Tom. She was always a dramatic little girl who (although she had money) never had a say in many of her choices. Now she must live with that choice.
Who i do feel sorry for is Gatsby. He is the biggest "fool" in the book. He believes he can reinvent the past; he is sadly mistaken. No one can repeat the past because the circumstances will never be the same again. People change and the past can never be revisited.
