The great gatsby daisy and myrtle question?

The character "Daisy" is named after a beautiful flower. Myrtle's name is quite different. A myrtle is a shrub that is used as a headge (a border) in a garden. However, the myrtle was also considered to be the sacred tree of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. How might these facts add meaning to author's choice of these names? Include character traits and facts about each character.

The great gatsby daisy and myrtle question?
Well daisy would be quite beautiful of course, and I can see her as quite ecstatic and carefree almost.


Myrtle would be mysterious. She'd have a hidden dark side: maybe a shadowed past.
