1 answer
Daisy Buchanan is shown to be a superficial and materialistic character in "The Great Gatsby." One action that showcases her character is when she disregards the emotional toll of her actions and instead focuses on material possessions. For example, when Daisy accidentally kills Myrtle Wilson with Gatsby's car, she is more concerned about the car's condition than the fact that she has taken a life. She exclaims, "The car!... We'd better go back, Nick. They're looking at the car. Come on, Nick, let's go back" (Chapter 7). This quote illustrates Daisy's shallowness and lack of empathy for others, as her immediate concern is for material possessions rather than the tragedy she has caused.
