Chapter 7

What does this imply about what Daisy is going to choose to do? What does this tell us about Daisy?

In chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby, the rising action continues to a climax. Daisy runs over Myrtle, Wilson's wife, with Gatsby in Tom's car, and they don't stop or show any remorse.

This shows how Daisy--and the upper-class society she is meant to represent--just don't care about anything aside from their own passions and momentary infatuations. They have learned to be careless; they have learned to care less. Daisy's indecision between Tom and Gatsby shows that she doesn't even really know what she wants. Would she choose a sketchy bootlegger or an even sketchier ex-football player who pretended not to be sketchy?
