Besides her personal beauty, what is it about Daisy that most attracts attention?

The great gatsby?

Besides her personal beauty, what is it about Daisy that most attracts attention?
The fact that she is supposedly an "angel" as compared to everyone else - she is always wearing white and trying to appear innocent/pure. It is the idea of that purity and beauty that attracts Gatsby, but unfortunately, it is an illusion. Daisy is not worthy of his attention and shows her true colors gradually over the course of the story - she is foolish, materialistic, and has no conscience (i.e. she just leaves Myrtle after hitting her).








Moral decay is a significant theme in Gatsby and Daisy is supposed to represent someone pure amongst people who are immoral.
Reply:probably her confidence. Gatsby has almost an obsession with her, causing him to relocate in a place where he knows they will meet, in fact he changes his whole lifestyle to impress her.





maybe they found true love many years ago but i also think that as she is unobtainable it makes him want her more.





i think she is like a trophy wife, beautiful, kind, very intelligent and able to speak for herself in society. towards the end of the book she also has an element of danger as we find out it was actually her who killed her husbands lover.





Hope this helps
Reply:she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy
Reply:smell and bright colors
