    Gatsby, his gatherings and his enigmatic fortune were the chatter of the hour. At the Buchanans, Nick came across Jordan Baker; through them both Daisy once more meets Gatsby, to whom she was engaged before marrying Buchanan. The inexorable outcome that follows, in which ferocity takes its toll, is almost incidental, for in the nuances - and this is a tome of effective overtones – the degeneration of humanities is more catastrophic. With subtle acumen and keen psychological surveillance, Fitzgerald divulges in these people a callousness of spirit, negligence and absenteeism of allegiance. He cannot hate them, for they are dumb in their insentient egotism, and only to be pitied.…

The female identity in the novels is virtually nonexistent as they are seen through skewed perceptions. The complexity of the characters of Daisy and Antonia is compromised by their portrayal from the male gaze, limiting their ability to serve as anything more than idealized symbols with the sole purpose of pleasing men. Critics have consistently painted a picture of Daisy Buchanan of The Great Gatsby as an evil being whose lack of morals lead to the descent of Gatsby.…
