In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby describes Daisy as "the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She wanted the handsome husband, to be outrageously rich, to have a high social class, and to live in a big, fancy house. In an effort to validate his pursuit of Daisy, Gatsby permits an inanimate object to develop a profound significance over his life. Although in the beginning parts of the novel Fitzgerald portrays her positively, the reader gradually realizes her shallow personality, through her love of materialism.
For example, she does not trust Gatsby, and she does not trust Tom Buchanan. Daisy is also compared to a Siren because she has an enchanting voice, and good looks luring people to her especially Gastby. Scott Fitzgerald displaying how she is a divine figure who needs to be chased after, as gold has connotations of richness and extreme wealth. This confrontation was too much for her. This gives her a certain level of privilege and power that other people might not have. For example, when she is angry, her voice can make others feel uncomfortable or scared. She, along with all of the upper class, seems to not care about anyone apart from themselves.
To Daisy, the expensive shirts represented wealth and success. Her tone is often flirtatious and her words are often light and casual. The task for the reader is to conclude where Nicks loyalties lie, why he claims to reserve judgement, but then proceeds to do the opposite, and finally if we can really trust Nicks presentation of the events of the novel? Fitzgerald uses this disgust to display his own opinion of the economically motivated participants in the American Dream.

He realizes she is note the perfect girl he thought. It begins as an idealistic thought in the distance, then as one begins to chase it, the dream increases to an audible item and finally it crashes down upon the poor pursuant like cymbals. All of these details about Daisy's voice convey her confidence and her social standing. Daisy stood at the window and looked out. So, on the surface, Gatsby's observation is probably to forestall whatever comment Nick was about to make, but it also speaks to a deeper truth about why Gatsby is attracted to Daisy.
In The Great Gatsby, why does Gatsby say Daisy's voice is full of money?
She is determined to get what she wants, and she is not afraid to use her voice to do so. We see the ways that money can insulate people from personal obligations and even from legal responsibility but we see more principally the idea that money allows adults to lead a life of play. Nick has begun by calling Daisy's an "indiscreet" voice as she calls down from an upper window. Daisy is the wife and Myrtle is the mistress. The group head to town and rent a suite at the Plaza Hotel to spend the afternoon in.
What are the characteristics of Daisy's voice throughout The Great Gatsby?
She does not really understand how other people see her, and she does not understand her own motivations. White is a universal symbol for purity and innocence.

Wealth became the new stable in the "American dream" that people yearned and chased after all their lives.
Nick is a pretty credible character. He says that it used to sound like money, but now it just sounds like a "regular" voice. While waiting out front, Gatsby tells Nick how uncomfortable he feels. However, Nick tells the reader he will not judge the characters he describes, and yet at many crucial moments in the novel he is sharp, disapproving and cynical. Daisy starts off as a promising character, but as the novel progresses her shortcomings- shallowness and selfishness- are made clear. Marrying Tom allowed Daisy to become even richer and more stable, further achieving the American Dream.
During Gatsby's party in Chapter Six, in a continuation of the musical quality of her voice, Daisy sings along to the lyrics of a song in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. This shows that she is happy for the material possessions and wealth Gatsby can provide, rather than for rekindling lost love. For Daisy, this happens when she encounters the beautiful shirts in Gatsby's house and sobs over them. She speaks in a fast, breathless manner, and she seems uncomfortable and out of place.
