What a character

Picking a character was a challenge since most are plain or nothing out of the ordinary. Daisy from the Great Gatsby has to be the most memorable, not in a positive way. She was some what two-faced, a ditzy, and helplessly in love woman around Gatsby, but in front of Tom she was the opposite sometimes. Rebellious yet aware of the man's role. She took interest in her kids like the women of the time should. What bothered me was she obeyed Tom, then went berserk, then with Gatsby she was simply perfect until "rich girls don't marry poor boys." Literary techniques that contribute to her character is the indirect characterization, so definitely her actions.
