Carrissa asked this question about The Great Gatsby:
At the end of the novel, only Tom and Daisy remain together, unscathed by the novels many tragedies and disappointments. Knowing what you do about these two characters, why do things turn out this way? What allows Tom and Daisy to escape much of the pain of what they contributed to?

Daisy remain because she has nowhere to turn to. They don't care for each other, they don't care for anything at all. Like the parasites they are, they live of each others miseries , vulnerabilities and mistakes. That seemingly "happy ending" was also a food for your thought. You should keep asking, "Is a life like Tom & Daisy worth living?"(less)
