[quote=Anonymous]The whole point of the Great Gatsby is how ephemeral everything is for the very rich. The clue is in the beginning of the book. The rich are different from you and me. This includes things like love. Daisy probably could have run away from Gatsby but love itself was always ephemeral for her. Temporary, not quite real, more a fling and passion of the moment but would never be lasting. Like you would treat fashion and shopping and vacations. The corrupting influence of money affecting all your sensibilities. Daisy lives on a cloud in an incredibly rarified world where everything else is effectively meaningless objects, and this includes other people. The closest she comes to something permanent is her child and Tom is the father of her child and that provides the most "real" thing in her life. [/quote]
