Relationship between Gatsby and Daisy Introduction The relationship between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan is an exceptionally secretive one since Nick knows nothing about it until, in section four of The Great Gatsby by F.

Why does Gatsby fail to convince Daisy to leave Tom?
Gatsby fails to convince Daisy Buchanan to leave her husband, Tom, because Tom reveals how Gatsby made his fortune. Daisy tells Tom that she is going to leave him, but then Tom says he found out Gatsby and his crony, Meyer Wolfsheim, purchased a bunch of drug-stores so that they could sell grain alcohol over the counter.
Daisy chose to marry Tom because of his wealth and power. Although Gatsby could offer Daisy romance, love, excitement and intrigue, her need for security freedom and money made her eventually choose Tom. In terms of security, Tom could offer much more than Gatsby.
Eventually, Gatsby won Daisy’s heart, and they made love before Gatsby left to fight in the war. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby, but in 1919 she chose instead to marry Tom Buchanan, a young man from a solid, aristocratic family who could promise her a wealthy lifestyle and who had the support of her parents.
Did Daisy truly love Gatsby?
Like Zelda Fitzgerald, Daisy is in love with money, ease, and material luxury. She is capable of affection (she seems genuinely fond of Nick and occasionally seems to love Gatsby sincerely ), but not of sustained loyalty or care.
Does Gatsby Really Love Daisy, and if so why?
No, she does not. Gatsby is not actually in love with Daisy either. He is in love with the idea of Daisy. Daisy is materialistic. She stays married to her rich husband even though she is aware of his affairs. Out of convenience. He offers her financial security and social status. Gatsby is a way to get back at her husband for cheating on her.
