Why is nick looking at the party "through daisy's eyes," and what conclusions does he come to by doing this

English

Answer and Explanation:

Nick and Daisy are characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby". Gatsby, the main character, is in love with Daisy. He left to fight in the war and, in the meantime, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, a millionaire. Gatsby becomes a criminal to earn money quickly, thinking wealth is enough for him to accomplish all his dreams, including getting Daisy back. Nick, the narrator, is Daisy's cousin and Gatsby's neighbor. He is an accomplice and helper of their love affair.

<u>In Chapter 6, Daisy, Tom and Nick attend one of Gatsby's grand parties. This time, unlike the previous times he attended such parties, Nick is looking at things through Daisy's eyes:</u>

<u>"[...] and now I was looking at it again, through Daisy's eyes. It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment."</u>

<u>Daisy is not happy at the party. The only moment of happiness is when she and Gatsby spend half an hour alone. But the party itself, although concocted by Gatsby to impress Daisy, does not work its magic. It's all forceful and fake, filled with celebrities, movie stars and producers. Although Daisy is a vain, shallow girl, this fails to impress her. She is old money, while Gatsby is new money. He is dying to be accepted by her and Tom as one of them. But this is not what either of them want. Tom loathes Gatsby; Daisy loves him, but not his persona. And all this is what Nick notices, seeing the party through Daisy's eyes.</u>
