Is the character Daisy in the novel The Great Gatsby static or dynamic?

I'm not sure because while in the begining she is weak and does what she is told and at the end she has an affair, so this could be seen as dynamic, however, you could argue she is static because in having the affair she is weak and seems to follow what ever Gatsby says. Your opinion?

Daisy is embarrassing to all women. You have already nailed it. She is both weak and strong at the same time. That is why she is Nick's downfall because he gives in to her, yet she never fully gives him everything back. She is weak for having the affair. She should have left her husband. That would maker her strong. Instead, she does what she wants while publicly staying submissive to her husband.
Reply:She's Bimbotic!!
Reply:i would say static. she never does what she realyl wants. gatsby wants to have the affair as well and she goes along. she neer stood up to her husband and allowed himt o abuse her. totally static.
