-”Love’s not Time’s fool”→ Gatsby’s love for Daisy is obsessive and unchanged by death
-Love- timeless and unchanging→ his idealised view of Daisy continued to keep his dream alive

Idealised love- She Walks in Beauty and Gatsby
She Walks in Beauty→ TGG
-poem is about love-struck awe, display of obsessive love and wonder→ Gatsby has a lack of a genuine connection
-placed on a pedestal→ Gatsby worships the ground Daisy walks on
-trope of perfection→ Daisy is a flawed person- Daisies have white petals (represent innocence) and yellow core (represents wealth)- she is artificial, hollow and materialistic
-ethereal imagery= angelic→ Daisy is immaculately beauutiful
