Daisy's Voice - Lynn and Edgar






Lynn, Edger
Daisy’s Fay Voice
“It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.” Pg. 9

“It was full of money- that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, that cymbal’s song of it… High in a white palace the king’s daughter, the golden girl…” Pg.120


Daisy’s voice is perceived by others as something filled with promise- a promise of riches and a life in luxury with a beautiful wife. As she was born to a rich family, to marry her would sort of be like marrying the “king’s daughter,” like the case of the Disney movie Aladdin where the person to marry princess Jasmine would become Sultan. As also in the case of the picture, she was held far above her suitors in a figurative “balcony” where they could not reach her.

The way that Daisy talk's is considered to be a soft melody of notes. To Gatsby, because he secretely loves Daisy, nothing that Daisy says can sound bad.
