Daisy: 女性物化的极致。
作品中盖茨比与汤姆都是用金钱追逐爱情，以黛西为power的标志，黛西似乎从来没有任何连贯的自我表达，让人觉得她有思想，而她最突出的特点则是“voice full of money”，似乎她本就是一个没有内涵的存在，or is it.
据说some of daisy's lines are directly quoted from Zelda, 而Zelda never speaks for herself, 她没有一部作品，关于她的所有只言片语都是通过菲茨杰拉德，而世人大多觉得泽尔达毁了菲茨杰拉德，正如黛西毁了盖茨比，但若没有任何反方的佐证，那又如何判断菲茨杰拉德是否也只是利用了泽尔达话语的缺失在虚伪地自我美化呢？
