The Great Gatsby Novel: Why does Daisy always speak in such exaggerated phrases?

Daisy so far.. doesn't seem to be in the book much. So.. I'm not quite sure why she exaggerates so much.. anyone has any ideas?!

The Great Gatsby Novel: Why does Daisy always speak in such exaggerated phrases?
Daisy becomes and is one of the main characters in the book. Fitzgerald has her speak in such exaggerated language to accentuate her superfluous behavior and how really simple minded she is. One of the elements that you will discover as her character starts to develop is how shallow she really is, and how Gatsby stoops to shallow things to impress her. The exaggerated language only reinforces how stupid she really is.





If you really want to understand, see the 1974 film version with Mia Farrow playing Daisy. She does a great job of being incredibly annoying and really displaying how foolish Daisy is.
