Chapter 7
American Dream – Wealth becomes very apparent in this chapter. When Daisy’s daughter comes out so she can “show her off” it shows that Tom and Daisy are so rich they pay for someone to take care of their kid. Daisy isn’t like a real mom she doesn’t care for her child she just brings her out to show her to people. When they go to the hotel to drink and cool off it shows that money isn’t a big deal and they can just waste it on simple things like that.
Character Development – You see Daisy develop into someone who was secretly completely in love with Gatsby to someone who can’t tell her husband what she has been telling Gatsby. She is living in a fantasy but knows that she won’t leave Tom even though she has been getting Gatsby’s hopes up.
Colors- White is in this chapter again but they mention white powder and I think the powder is like a mask. She may look white and pure on the outside but really she has been cheating on her husband and leading Gatsby on. She isn’t pure and innocent at all.
