In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan emerges as a character that portrays the epitome of true love. The complexity of the character of Daisy subdues itself to simple form when it comes to her happiness. Her happiness is based solely on money and property alone, but this money also allows Tom to continually dominate her. Daisy's adoration for materialistic objects and stability prove her to be shallow and incapable of true love for Jay Gatsby. Daisy is identified as superior and so rich that she is incapable of being in love with anyone unlike or less than her. Daisy's lack of courage to leave Tom and genuine concern for their daughter, make it impossible for Daisy to commit into a relationship with Gatsby. Brian Sutton confirms, "Daisy realizes that she lacks the emotional clarity and fortitude to leave her husband in favor of Gatsby" (95). No matter how much money Gatsby has or whatever he does, he can never change Daisy and what happened over the past five years. Daisy displays all of the qualities that Gatsby desires, but is incapable of fulfilling his aspirations for life-long love. She is the motivation and the death of him. I believe that Daisy destroyed Gatsby. Through their complicated love affair, Daisy gave Gatsby a sense of false hope that the two would live happily ever after together.
