Gatsby tries to be flashy and impressive with his money, which is very irresponsible and unwise. He drives a Rolls-Royce he also has a monstrous mansion by himself, and he throw parties non-stop to impress people, and try to lure Daisy back to him. With his newly wealth he obtained from a life of crime, in the bootleg business. Daisy is dominant over Gatsby.

Because Gatsby lacked wealth even though they were in love there was no way the pair could get married. Tom only stole daisy away, because she fell in love with the life they could have together, not him as a human being. In this era women are attracted by money not by emotions or love. Once they reunite, Daisy is still dominant over Gatsby. Daisy is now an established woman in the higher class. Daisy uses Gatsby as a tool to get back a Tom for him being unfaithful. The only chance Gatsby has to take Daisy away is proving that he can take better care of Daisy, not emotionally, but financially. Even before Gatsby reentered the love nest, Daisy would never leave Tom because how good of a life he provided was and all the “old money” he have. Furthermore when Daisy start realizing that Gatsby is not apart of the “old money” crowd and is a criminal, that is what causes Daisy to choose Tom in the end. In the 1920 society, if anybody wanted a wife that was worth anything, it wasn't enough just to be rich. They had to be a somebody within somebodies and they had to be respected within the higher class. Tom and Daisy had all that and Jay Gatsby's did not. “She's got an indiscreet voice’’ I remarked, “It's full of- I hesitated, “Her voice is full of money’’ he said suddenly that it was.
