I'm not quite sure why she would want her child as a beautiful fool - so if someone can answer that question; that would be fabulous.
The Great Gatsby Novel: Why does Daisy hope her child will be a beautiful fool?
She was trying to imply that the life of a woman is a happier one in ignorance. If her daughter is a "fool" then she will never have to suffer the harsh realities of the real world. Think of the old saying " Ignorance is bliss". the less her daughter knows, the better. She also probably said this because she was still full of resentment over the fact that she wasnt allowed to marry Gatsby when she wanted too...
Reply:Because her daughter is female. She believes she herself is a beautiful fool - a woman shouldn't be too smart. They should just be beautiful and marry well. That is what she hopes for her daughter. The typical jazz age woman.
