Character Sketch – Daisy The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful young woman from Louisville. She is the cousin of the novel’s narrator Nick Carrayway and the love interest of Jay Gatsby. She is married to an extremely rich and arrogant man called Tom Buchanan.

Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse but evolved into a grim, almost profane
And destructive of his art. This novel is written in more or less anti war. ,,Manhattan transfer"- truly modernist novel. Ruinous effect of capitalism on human lives. The scene of action is New York. The city itself becomes the central character, the whole novel is an attempt to show the complex nature of the novel metropolis-huge city. It is a truly modernist level in any sense, tries to imitate devices used by cinema. Late 1920's the cinema was already very popular and two great directiors-Griffith and Eisenstein. The greatest innovators of the cinema and they used the devices of montage and collage. He also uses a lot of fragmentation and rapid cutting. The novel is dominated by the high rise city, by the crowds, by the masses of people, passing by the skyscrapers, mechanisation and destructiveness. There is a multitude of characters.
