Gatsby was eaten alive about becoming rich. He wanted that more than anything in the world, and he wanted Daisy to complete his mission of money and a trophy wife. Did he really love her in the way he should have, or was she just the last part of his puzzle on his way up? Was he more like a stalker, or just in his mind, her star-crossed love of his life?

This question is about Gatsby and Daisy, characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby".

Answer and Explanation:

According to the narrator of the story, Nick, Gatsby had the ability to convince himself of whatever he chose to. For instance, when he was still very young, he convinced himself that, even though he was extremely poor, he was destined to great things. Therefore, it is easy to see how Gatsby could have chosen to believe that Daisy was the love of his life, that he was her star-crossed soulmate. Even if that were false, he would fight to make it true.

Gatsby certainly did not love Daisy in the purest form love can have. He loved the ideal he built around her. She was indeed what one could call a trophy wife. That is what she was to Tom, her real husband, as well as to Gatsby, who wanted to break them up. And to Gatsby, more specifically, everything had to be perfect. Daisy had to pretend she had never married Tom. She had to forget about 5 whole years of her life, acting as if Gatsby was the only man she had ever loved. Gatsby felt entitled to demand those things from her, blinded to the fact that that is a form of abuse.
