− | Daisy is characterized as shallow, careless, as well as cheerful at times. However, there is a deeper side to her.

Her sardonic comments stem from the hurt she feels, knowing Tom has several chicks outside so he cheats on Daisy.

Even so, she does show some care for her daughter when she tells Nick Carraway "I'm glad it's a girl and I hope she'll be a fool. That's the best thing a girl can ever be in this world, a beautiful little fool.", showing that she does not want her daughter to know too many things about the world, it's better if she stays ignorant and shallow, like Daisy tries to be. |
