She was appalled by West Egg…by its raw vigor that chafed…and by the too obtrusive fate that herded its inhabitants along a short-cut from nothing to nothing. She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby, Chapter 6. Daisy is appalled at Gatsby’s party, because coming from East Egg where the old money lives, she looks down on the new money that lives in West Egg. She is shallow and reluctant to be part of anything outside of her social class.
