Irony is like sarcasm: you can say "oh yeah, that sounds SO fun" and mean "that doesn't sound fun at all"
Irony in a situation is when, for example, you do everything you can to prevent something from happening, but your trying to prevent it is what makes it happen.
It is also a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Why did Daisy marry Tom? Question 10 options:

mariarad [96]

Answer:

3. She was eager to move on with her life, and did not want to wait for Gatsby.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his return to try to get his lost American dream- money and Daisy. Narrated by the protagonist's neighbor and daisy's cousin Nick Carraway, the story revolves around the lives of the wealthy in East Egg and the not-so-wealthy of west Egg.

Daisy Fay nee Buchanan was previously in love wit Jay Gatsby while he was in the army. With him gone overseas, she could not wait, "She wanted her life shaped now, immediately— and the decision must be made by some force—of love, of money, of unquestionable practicality"(Chapter 8). So, when Tom Buchanan came, she immediately moved on, knowing he had the means to support her lifestyle. When Jordan Baker told Nick about Jay and Daisy (Chapter 4), she mentions that she had received a letter from Jay, most probably asking her to rethink her decision to marry Tom. She had even got a 350,000 dollars pearl necklace, but she wasn't convinced. Later on, after she had freshened up and relaxed, she married Tom, as if nothing had happened at all.
