In the historical fition, The Geet Gaisby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy mentions that she
hopes her child would likely end up a beautiful fool. The implicit meaning behind it all suggests
that she would want her child to live a happy life, a beautiful girl that doesn’t ask tognany
questions about life. Daisy suffers from knowing of the affair and the reality, she would think
that the less her daughter knows, the better off she will be, instead of dealing with the harshness
of reality. “That's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool,” (Fitzgerald
17). Daisy is really worried about how her daughter will portray the real world and does not
want her child to end up like her and Tom. She would want her daughter to be a “beautiful fool”
because she would not have to work for anything, just be naive and don’t ask questions. Also in
that quote, it shows symbolism that Daisy wants for her daughter to have. Daisies are represented
by white and gold. The white part of the flower represents the innocence that she also wants her
daughter to have and the gold represents the wealth that they will eventually get later. Tom is
slowly taking away that innocence by having an affair. Tom is like taking petals off the flower
and Daisy does not want the same for her daughter. Daisy wants t her daughter to keep her
petals which means to keep her innocence and ignorance. In conclusion, the interpretation of the
quote meant that Daisy does not want her daughter to go through pain and suffering of reality
