Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” is a particularly delicate balance of realism and fantasy, entirely filtered through the literary consciousness of its narrator, Nick Carraway. But that doesn’t mean it should seem entirely imaginary, which is one way of explaining the problems with Baz Luhrmann’s spectacular but oddly uninvolving new film version. “Gatsby” has long resisted successful big-screen adaptation, not least because of Fitzgerald-as-Nick’s famous poetic reveries – which are mostly extraneous to the plot – and because of its ambiguous mythic or fairy tale quality. Luhrmann embraces those elements with gusto (perhaps too much so) and creates a larger and more ambitious screen “Gatsby” than has ever been seen before. That doesn’t turn out to be the answer either. The%20Great%20Gatsby%20questions.pdf. 01eganejspring14.pdf. The Beautiful Sets in Baz Luhrmann's "Great Gatsby" - Hooked on Houses.

By Katie Baker. Is there any female character in American literature more coquettish and coveted than Daisy Fay Buchanan? 'The Great Gatsby' 2: the Buchanan mansion. The Great Gatsby: Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is The Great Gatsby's most enigmatic, and perhaps most disappointing, character.

Although Fitzgerald does much to make her a character worthy of Gatsby's unlimited devotion, in the end she reveals herself for what she really is. Despite her beauty and charm, Daisy is merely a selfish, shallow, and in fact, hurtful, woman. Gatsby loves her (or at least the idea of her) with such vitality and determination that readers would like, in many senses, to see her be worthy of his devotion. Although Fitzgerald carefully builds Daisy's character with associations of light, purity, and innocence, when all is said and done, she is the opposite from what she presents herself to be.

From Nick's first visit, Daisy is associated with otherworldliness. As the story continues, however, more of Daisy is revealed, and bit-by-bit she becomes less of an ideal. Although Daisy seems to have found love in her reunion with Gatsby, closer examination reveals that is not at all the case. Clothes and Character: 'The Great Gatsby' - The New York Times.
