Daisy Buchanan
Daisy Buchanan is a character in F.
Scott Fitzgerald's novel *The Great Gatsby* (1925), representing the allure and moral emptiness of the wealthy elite.
Beautiful, charming, and careless, she embodies the unattainable object of desire.
Her name has become shorthand for a certain type of privileged woman—one whose appeal masks shallow values: She's a total Daisy Buchanan, all charm and no substance.
