This leads to another major difference between the two women, which is their vitality. Fitzgerald emphasizes Daisy’s character through her voice, where at one point Gatsby finally realizes that her voice is full of money. As Nick narrates, “That was it. I'd never understood it before. It was full of money that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it” (Fitzgerald 127). With this reference to the money her voice illustrates everything that she does is just done on the surface. She is the shallow girl and forcuses on the outward instead of the inward. Money creates the appearance that Tom and Daisy have better lives and have better characters. However, this is only appearance with money not going any deeper. Daisy’s character is the same, where everything she does is for appearance rather than being actually experienced. Overall, this results in a lack of vitality in her character, where even when she does appear happy, there is the sense that she doesn’t really feel it. The opposite is true for Myrtle, where her vitality is always clear. This is the first thing Nick notices on meeting her, as he describes, “Her face, above a spotted dress of dark blue crepe-de-chine, contained no facet or gleam of beauty, but there was an immediately perceptible vitality about her as if the nerves of her body continually smouldering” (Fitzgerald 29-30).
