I hate Daisy more than anyone else. She is so selfish! The only reason I can think of for Gatsby to be so focused on her is that he's really focused on the idea of her. He has a perfect image of her in his head that is completely unrealistic.
Her affair is most definitely not excusable just because her husband also had an affair. There is no sympathy from me for either of them. Time to grow up! If you don't love someone, don't be with them. If you do love someone you should be faithful to them.
I don't know why this book is a classic. It's a very irritating display of people screwing up their lives and not caring how their actions affect anyone else. I did not like it. (can you tell?) It did nothing to better my life, expand my imagination, or entertain me. I finished it because I cannot start a book and not finish it.
I also felt the author was overly descriptive. It was like he tried to put in every beautiful and poetic thing he could think of, which took away from some of the nicer descriptions used.
And that's all I have to say about that.
