Her Voice Is Full Of Money

 


It iswho first comments on 's voice and what he says is 'she's got an indiscreet
voice'. Money and indiscretion are both present in her voice and are therefore linked. Her
indiscretion is a factor of her money. Nick himself is thought to be careful by , so it is not
something he is likely to approve of.

By the end Daisy andand by extension
rich people like them are seen by Nick as not just indiscreet but irresponsible, their wealth
literally allowing them to get away with murder, to escape any responsibility for 's death. Nick
comments 'They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and
then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness'. Here money and carelessness
are synonymous and Nick is sickened by the sort of behaviour that wealth allows; Daisy and her
voice was an earlier image of this.
