Daisy's main characteristic is weakness. She never comes out of her comfort zone, and since she had already settled down with Tom she doesn't wan't to restart her life to choose another path. She may like it better with Gatsby, but she would never consider doing something as outrageous as leave Tom.
Was Gatsby Great?
No, Gatsby was not great. The title is pure irony and it sets Gatsby up to be the hero, but in the end he is an utter failure. The place where you most see his failure in life was at the end, when nobody came to his funeral. If he was a great person and accomplished much, people would be sad when his death came. But instead, his own father skipped out, and we realize that for the most part, Gatsby was just a loser, and money can't even change that.
What were the glasses of Doctor T.J Eckleburg a symbol of?
The glasses and the eyes of Eckleburg symbolize how the upper class get much attention, and it seems like everyone is always watching them. His eyes seemed to rise up out of the fog at one point, and could be seen from much of the surrounding area.
What is the purpose of Nick in this story?
Nick, for the most part is a flat character. He does not change much at all throughout the reading, and maybe that is because he has already experienced these events. That is the reason why I think his purpose was only to have a non-biased outlook on these events, and tell the story to us how it actually happened. That's right, Nick was only in the story to narrate.
