What was unique about Daisy to Gatsby?
Daisy, Gatsby reveals, was his social superior, yet they fell deeply in love. The reader also learns that, when courting, Daisy and Gatsby had been intimate with each other and it was this act of intimacy that bonded him to her inexorably, feeling “married to her.” Gatsby left Daisy, heading off to war. He excelled in battle and when the war was over, he tried to get home, but ended up at Oxford instead. Daisy didn’t understand why he didn’t return directly and, over time, her interest began to wane until she eventually broke off their relationship.
