Daisy is characterized as shallow, careless, as well as cheerful at times. However, there is a deeper side to her. For one, she makes sardonic comments, proving that she is not as ignorant as she portrays herself to be. Her sardonic comments stem from the hurt she feels, knowing Tom has several chicks outside so he cheats on Daisy. It is unclear whether Daisy really loved Gatsby (she claims to have), but her indecisiveness, or as some see it- intentionally letting misinformation to stay misinformation, (in)directly lead to the death of Gatsby. Daisy has a daughter named Pammy, but often leaves her with a care taker. 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.
