In chapter
four of ,tellsall about 's history when she was a teenager. Jordan knew
Daisy when they were younger. Daisy was a very well-liked young lady. She had many admirers and
she seemed to enjoy their company. Jordan goes on tell Nick that there was this one young
military man that seemed to catch Daisy's attention completely. They would spend many day
together and seemed to be very much in love, but Daisy ended up marrying . Tom was a much better
match for Daisy and her parents. Tom came from a wealthy family and Daisy's social standing
would remain in tact with the marriage. They young military man loved Daisy but was very poor.
Jordan has begun to put the pieces together thatis the man Daisy was in love with.
"Well about six weeks ago, she heard the name Gatsby for the
first time in years. It was when I asked if youdo you remember?if you knew Gatsby in West Egg.
After you had gone home she came into my room and woke me up, and said: "What Gatsby?"
and when I described himI was half asleepshe said in the strangest voice that it must be the man
she used to know. It wasn't until then that I connected this Gatsby with the officer in her
white car."
Daisy is the great love of Gatsby's life
and everything he has done has been for her. Gatsby believed that if he got wealthy he would be
worthy of Daisy. His love for her consumed him, and he devoted his life to trying to win her
back. He knows that she isn't in love with Tom; she only married him because of his wealth.
Gatsby believes that now that he has great wealth Daisy will finally be free to love him. Theof
it all is that no matter what Gatsby did, Daisy was never going to love him the way he loved
her.
