Gatsby has set himself up for the rejection that he will
later experience and his own demise through his feelings for Daisy. Daisy is a woman
who is unkind to him, but he is drawn to her like the moth to the
fire.
Gatsby longed for something that honesty and hard
work would not provide him so he chose an alternate route to gain wealth. Daisy is
aware of who he really is as a person and who she really is as a person. She is a
selfish person who allows Gatsby into her life only to show her true nature at a later
time.
Gatsby is at fault because he went after a married
woman who was not his to take. If Daisy had been unhappy with her marriage she could
have gotten out of it before her affairs. However, her lifestyle and ability to play
around while married is a part of who she is as well as
Tom.
Daisy and Tom are more alike than Daisy and Gatsby and
they are both shallow people. By becoming involved with them Gatsby has set-up his own
demise.
