Gatsby

The Fitzgerald women are essentially cold people because from reading the novel you realize how much they only think of themselves and how cold hearted they are. Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Myrtle Wilson all have a very important part in this novel that makes you realize everyone does something wrong.

Daisy Buchanan was married to man who was very wealthy by the name of Tom Buchanan.
