Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life in new tunes.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby, Chapter 8. Gatsby tells Nick that during the war Daisy gave up waiting for his return and re-entered her position in society. The personification of the despicable thoughts and ideas the very rich have towards life, Daisy is a snobby, inconsiderate, pompous girl who cares about herself before others.
