Even though she was still in love with Gatsby, Daisy most likely married Tom because she knew he could provide her with more material comforts. Once Daisy takes a bath and calms down, she consents to marry Tom, and appears, initially at least, happy with her decision. Why did Daisy ultimately marry Tom when Gatsby left for war? Then she met Tom Buchanan and was flattered by him and his position.
She was motivated to get married and Tom came from a similar and good background with money and position. This tells us that Daisy was more shallow and just wanted to get married. She is afraid that Tom will get violent. She thinks she is safer with Gatsby. Shortly after the couple got married, Daisy and Tom embarked on a three-month honeymoon to the South Seas. Jordan then mentions that the next time she saw Tom and Daisy was in Santa Barbara and Daisy seemed infatuated with her husband.
According to Jordan, what did Daisy do on her wedding day? According to Jordan, Daisy had gotten drunk. He was astounded. The mistake occurs because, earlier in the day, Tom suggests that he and Gatsby swap cars for the drive to New York.
Myrtle sees Tom from the room where her husband has locked her up. Later that night, Tom and Gatsby drive their own cars back from the city. Although Gatsby himself never explicitly says how he became wealthy, readers could assume his money comes from illegal or nefarious practices, working as either a German spy or a gambler.
Before readers are introduced to the more prominent eyes in the novel—those of Doctor T. Owl Eyes is the only character, perhaps besides Nick, who is curious about Gatsby and wants to see him for who he truly is. Daisy seems unhappy with her marriage to Tom from the outset of the novel.
Even the night before their wedding, she got drunk and told Jordan to tell everyone she had changed her mind. Although Daisy may have loved Gatsby once, she does not love him more than the wealth, status, and freedom that she has with Tom. As the narrator, Nick offers a unique and revealing point of view. Had the narrator been a character who enjoyed wealth, like Tom, or aspired to it, like Myrtle, readers may not have been able to see the emptiness of their dreams and values.
Although George Wilson seems to be a caring, hardworking husband, Myrtle claims to have regretted marrying him from the day after their wedding.
