    In my opinion,a fool just like an angel in this mother's eyes.

    While not directly relevant to the novel’s main themes, this sentence offers a revealing glimpse into Daisy’s character. Daisy is not a fool herself but is the product of a social environment that, to a great extent, does not value intelligence in women. The older generation values subservience and docility in females, and the younger generation values thoughtless giddiness and pleasure-seeking. Daisy’s remark is somewhat sarcastic: while she refers to the social values of her era, she does not seem to challenge them. Instead, she describes her own boredom with life and seems to imply that a girl can have more fun if she is beautiful and simplistic. Daisy herself often tries to act such a part. She conforms to the social standard of American femininity in the 1920s in order to avoid such tension-filled issues as her undying love for Gatsby.

    That's what Daisy thinks of life--and what she thinks of women as well. we can see she's not happy in her marriage and, as it has been said above, she's cynical about everything
