Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy, or who he seemed to have painted her to be over the five years they were apart from each other, not only drives his life of being Jay Gatsby, but ultimately destroys it.
Gatsby first fell in love with Daisy when he was a soldier staying in Louisville because she was the girl who every guy wanted to date and every girl wanted to be. She was born into a wealthy family, was very attractive, and had a voice that drew you in. As it was told by Nick, “I think that voice held him most, with its fluctuating, feverish warmth, because it couldn't be over-dreamed—that voice was a deathless song” (96). Every soldier made attempts to win her over but she chose Gatsby to love back, even if he was everything her parents did
