What is the characterization of Daisy in The Great Gatsby in chaper 1?

Daisy is greedy and somewhat conniving, certainly selfish. She is superficial, without too much in the way of morals, and attracted to money. When I read the book in class, we did an analysis of character names. Daisy is kind of like the flower, we said. Think of the white petals and the yellow center. She dresses in white and seems very pretty and innocent on the outside. At heart, however, she is yellow - greedy, attached to money, corrupted. Admittedly, this may be reading too much into a name, but if you have to write something about her, then it'll sound thoughtful and analytical.

Daisy is the archetypal conniving woman. She is only out for herself and masterfully manipulates every man that she gets her claws into.
